I haven't see these comment....

It's a one shot script I've done and find that might be helpful (And in fact, it is :))

As @BasicAcid said, you have to use dejsonlz4 first to make it works

git clone https://github.com/avih/dejsonlz4
cd dejsonlz4
gcc -Wall -o dejsonlz4 src/dejsonlz4.c src/lz4.c

./dejsonlz4 [nom_du_fichier_jsonlz4]
