Features

  • Encryption: Values are obfuscated post encryption, and can be decrypted with the original key.

  • Schema Preservation: Ensures the original JSON structure and data types remain intact after encryption.

  • Secure Key Derivation: Utilizes Argon2 for robust, password-based cryptographic key derivation.

  • CLI Integration: Designed for shell scripts, supporting stdin and stdout for input and output.

  • Granular Control: Fine-grained behavioral configuration through command-line flags.
