jjq

A tool for processing JSON inputs with JavaScript, no dsl!

Introduction

jq is an awesome tool if you know it well go ahead, use it.

I don't use jq all the time, and consequently I don't remember its filter DSL syntax, however I do know JavaScript, so it's easier and quicker for me to fire node and do whatever I want.

jjq is a convenient way to combine usability of jq and scripting ability of nodejs.

Notes

By default, if no code is passed, jjq will pretty print the input json to stdout.

The input json can be accessed in the script with the variable name it.

Examples

```shell jjq 'it.feeds[0].multiMedia[0]' -f jsonfilewithhierarchy-100-100.json

echo '{"key": "value"}' | jjq

jjq 'it[0]' < EmployeeData.json

cat EmployeeData.json | jjq 'it.map(t => ({name: t.name, age: t.email}))'

pass -i flag to include a js file

jjq 'let p = it.map(t => t.password); max(p.map(len))' -i demos/libs.js -f EmployeeData.json ```

Installation

If you have rust toolchain installed, you can just do

shell cargo install js-json-query

Getting rust toolchain is super easy, head over here if you are interested.

Alternatively, you can download pre-build binaries from the release page.
