Run from Command Line

Would it be possible to run this on a JSON file from the command line?

What output would you be looking for? Binary bson?

I am looking to convert a mongodb document into extended JSON.

So if the original JSON file looks like this:

{
    "_id" : ObjectId("5a8c60b8c83eaf000fb39547"),
    "name" : "myName",
    "created" : ISODate("2018-02-20T17:54:00.091Z"),
    "components" : [
        ...

The result would be something like this:

{
    "$oid" : "5a8c60b8c83eaf000fb39547",
    "name" : "myName",
    "created" : { "$date" : "2018-02-20T17:54:00.091Z"},
    "components" : [
        ...

@pnewell this module would not be able to do that given the first JSON file in text, and in fact is the very reason for the existence of the extended JSON format. The first JSON file you pasted above is not valid JSON, it looks like perhaps text generated by the mongo shell
