# Merge one or more json files.
#
# If any input is not a valid JSON, the merge operation will fail. Consequently
# you can "merge" one JSON file to perform validation.
# If any two inputs overlap in key space, the merge operation will fail.
# Optionally the merged output can be minified. Consequently you can "merge"
# one JSON file to perform minification.
#
# Parameters
#
#   sources (required)
#     [files list] One or more JSON files to merge.
#
#   minify (optional)
#     [boolean] Whether to minify the result.
#     Minified JSON is functionally equivalent but less readable to humans.
#
#   testonly (optional)
#   visibility (optional)
#     Standard GN meaning.
#
# Example of usage:
#
#   json_merge("merged.json") {
#     sources = [ "one.json", "two.json" ]
#     minify = true
#   }
