 # 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 .
