# Scripting restic
Restic supports the output of some commands in JSON format. The JSON flag ```--json``` is currently supported only by ```restic snapshots```.
Restic supports the output of some commands in JSON format, the JSON data can
then be processed by other programs (e.g. [`jq`](https://stedolan.github.io/jq/)).
The following example lists all snapshots as JSON and uses `jq` to pretty-print
the result:
```console
$ restic -r /tmp/backup snapshots --json```
$ restic -r /tmp/backup snapshots --json | jq .
