 ## Output Options
 
-The CVE Binary Tool provides console-based output by default. If you wish to provide another format, you can specify this and a filename on the command line using `--format`. The valid formats are CSV, JSON, console, HTML and PDF. The output filename can be specified using the `--output-file` flag.
+The CVE Binary Tool provides console-based output by default. If you wish to provide another format, you can specify this and a filename on the command line using `--format`. The valid formats are CSV, JSON, JSON2, console, HTML and PDF. The output filename can be specified using the `--output-file` flag.
 
 You can also specify multiple output formats by using comma (',') as separator:
 
 ```bash
-cve-bin-tool file -f csv,json,html -o report
+cve-bin-tool file -f csv,json,json2,html -o report
 ```
 
 Note: You must not use spaces between the commas (',') and the output formats.
