Jsonflat is a utility to convert JSONs into flatter, greppable form. Given the following json:
{
"foos": [
{
"name": "a",
"frobnicity": 50
},
{
"name": "b",
"frobnicity": 50
}
]
}
it spits out:
.foos[0](name=a).frobnicity: 50
.foos[0](name=a).name: "a"
.foos[1](name=b).frobnicity: 50
.foos[1](name=b).name: "b"
Note that name key is special and is included in paths. This is to make paths
more meaningful if your data representation is not a dict, but rather list of
named objects.
It also works when jsons are embedded in plaintext:
[2020-02-02 20:02] Got response: {
"code": 404,
"message": "nothing there"
}. Ignoring.
[2020-02-02 20:02] Got response: .code: 404
[2020-02-02 20:02] Got response: .message: "nothing there"
[2020-02-02 20:02] Got response: {…}. Ignoring.
Reads from stdin, writes to stdout.
command that returns json | jsonflat | grep "thing"There's also a stripcommonprefix command included that should help with long paths:
