Description

Malformed JSON in an encrypted settings file can be expensive to diagnose. It would be useful to be able to specify an option in the command-line tool (or make this the default and provide a way to opt out) that validates that the file contents are valid JSON before allowing them to be encrypted.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the current command line tool implementation to understand how options are parsed and encryption is performed. Then add a validation step that checks if the input file contents are valid JSON before encryption.
