Tutorial

Extract a query template for jq from json data.

$ bash
$ cat > myrepos.json <<EOF
[
  { "author": "Toshihiro Kamiya", "url": "https://github.com/tos-kamiya/json2jqq/" },
  { "author": "Toshihiro Kamiya", "url": "https://github.com/tos-kamiya/giftplayer/" }

EOF
$ json2jqq myrepos.json
.[].author
.[].url

Each of extracted queries will work as jq's filter.

$ jq '.[].url' myrepos.json
"https://github.com/tos-kamiya/json2jqq/"
"https://github.com/tos-kamiya/giftplayer/"

Option -s will show a sample value for each query.

$ json2jqq -s myrepos.json
.[].author	Toshihiro Kamiya
.[].url	https://github.com/tos-kamiya/json2jqq/
