Dump JSON data

Important: Athens (2025.1) introduced fundamental changes to Sketch. API documentation may not be up to date.

Before the open file format got introduced sketchtool dump allowed to export a Sketch document to JSON.

sketchtool dump /path/to/document.sketch

Note: We strongly recommend using the file format directly instead of sketchtool dump because the command uses an undocumented and different JSON structure than the file format.
