edit json file using script

Question

I have a json file that it has more than 30k lines, and I need to replace all instances of }{ in the file with },{ by using script shell or just a text editor like less or vim.

Just use sed:

sed 's/}{/},{/g' orig.json > new.json

Or, to edit the file in place (this will copy the original to orig.json.bak):

sed -i.bak 's/}{/},{/g' orig.json
