A command-line interface to Wikibase

// as there are JSON strings arguments, and signle or double quoted strings args

  // One JSON object as single argument
  // typically for (create|edit)-entity commands
  // ex: { "id": "Q1", "labels": { "en": "foo" } }

  // Several arguments as a valid JSON array
  // ex: [ "Q1" , "P2", '{"amount":123,"unit":"Q1947"}' ]'
