jello

You can do it like this with Jello (I am the author): jello '[e.commit for e in _ if e.commit.author == "Tom Hudson"]' Jello let’s you use python syntax with dot notation without the stdin/stdout/json.loads boilerplate. https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jello

A couple more alternatives: https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jello https://github.com/wwkimball/yamlpath

Hi there - I'm the author of `jc`. I also created `jello`[0], which works just like `jq` but uses python syntax. I find `jq` is great for many things but sometimes more complex operations are easier for me to grok in python. [0] https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jello

Similar in concept to jello[0] which works like jq but uses python syntax. [0] https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jello

In addition to jq (already mentioned) here are some other useful CLI tools for dealing with JSON data. Descriptions are directly from GitHub. Note: dsq also has a companion GUI app called DataStation[0] if you're looking for that. fx: Command-line JSON processing tool - https://github.com/antonmedv/fx dasel: JSON, YAML, TOML, XML, and CSV query and modification tool - https://github.com/TomWright/dasel dsq: CLI tool for running SQL queries against JSON, CSV, Excel, Parquet, and more - https://github.com/multiprocessio/dsq gron: Make JSON greppable - https://github.com/tomnomnom/gron jello: Filter JSON and JSON Lines data with Python syntax - https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jello jless: Command-line pager for JSON data - https://github.com/PaulJuliusMartinez/jless jid: Json incremental digger - https://github.com/simeji/jid jql: JSON que

You could do something like this in pure python without the json loading boilerplate with jello[0]. An interactive TUI for jello called jellex[1} is also available. (I am the author) [0] https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jello [1] https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jellex

For those who are comfortable with python, I created Jello[0], which works like jq but uses python syntax. I also created Jellex[1], which is a TUI built on Jello to assist with building the python queries. Jello gives you the power of python but without all of the boilerplate, so it’s nicer to use in Bash scripts. [0] https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jello [1] https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jellex

If you like python you might check out jello[0]. I basically wrote it to give you the power and simplicity of python without the boiler plate in a jq-like form-factor. Jello also allows you to use dot-notation instead of dict bracket notation, so it does make things easier on the command line. Also, there is jellex[1], which is a TUI wrapper around jello that can help you build your queries. [0] https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jello [1] https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jellex

That’s why I created jello[0]. You get the power of python without the boilerplate so the experience is closer to jq with python syntax. [0] https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jello

Sure thing! https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jello Other languages are superior in their handling of maps/arrays, but Python is just so damned popular now I thought it was a good choice to democratize JSON handling. https://blog.kellybrazil.com/2020/03/25/jello-the-jq-alterna...

Shameless plug, but I created jello[0] to give you the ease of parsing json in bash, but using python syntax[1] [0]https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jello [1]https://blog.kellybrazil.com/2020/03/25/jello-the-jq-alterna...

Shameless plug, but that was one of the reasons I created jello[0], which allows you to use pure python list/dict/comprehension, etc. syntax. Also, here is a blog post[1] explaining in more detail. [0]https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jello [1]https://blog.kellybrazil.com/2020/03/25/jello-the-jq-alterna...

I gave up on jq and use jello[1][2] instead. gron too looks nice. [1] https://blog.kellybrazil.com/2020/03/25/jello-the-jq-alterna... [2] https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jello

Well, there is XPath 3.1 if you want standards[1] but my point was simply that it depends on whether your question is “I need compatibility with existing jq scripts”, “I need an embeddable library I can integrate in other programs”, or “I want to process JSON for my own usage”. For example, someone who works with a lot of Python might prefer something like https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jello to write comprehensions using the full capabilities of Python, especially since that would provide a direct path to using the final expressions in a Python program or even embedded in one of the environments where Python is used as a scripting language. Is that a viable alternative? The answer depends entirely on who's asking. 1. https://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-31/#id-introduction

There are other tools like jq that instead use more common syntax. For example, jello[0] is just like jq except it uses python list and dictionary syntax. (disclaimer: I am the author) [0] https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jello
