You can use separate variables with read : read var1 var2 var3 < <(echo $(curl -s ‘https://api.github.com/repos/torvalds/linux’ | jq -r ‘.id, .name, .full_name’)) echo “id : $var1” echo “name : $var2” echo “full_name : $var3” Using array : read -a arr < <(echo $(curl -s ‘https://api.github.com/repos/torvalds/linux’ | jq -r ‘.id, .name, .full_name’)) echo “id : … Read more
Here’s a variant using reduce instead of group_by: reduce .[] as $m ({}; .[$m.country] += [$m]) Demo Or as a defined function: def grp(f): reduce .[] as $m ({}; .[$m|f] += [$m]); grp(.country) Demo { “germany”: [ { “name”: “anna”, “country”: “germany” }, { “name”: “lisa”, “country”: “germany” } ], “usa”: [ { “name”: “john”, … Read more
Borrowing from this answer which does all of the hard work of turning the JSON into key=value pairs, you could get these into the environment by looping over the jq output and exporting them: for s in $(echo $values | jq -r “to_entries|map(\”\(.key)=\(.value|tostring)\”)|.[]” ); do export $s done If the variables being loaded contain embedded … Read more
To get the top-level keys as a stream, you can use the built-in function keys[]. So one solution to your particular problem would be: jq -r ‘keys[] as $k | “\($k), \(.[$k] | .ip)”‘ keys produces the key names in sorted order; if you want them in the original order, use keys_unsorted. Another alternative, which … Read more
You set values of an object using the = operator. |= on the other hand is used to update a value. It’s a subtle but important difference. The context of the filters changes. Since you are setting a property to a constant value, use the = operator. .shipping.local = false Just note that when setting … Read more
Here is a generic JSON-to-CSV converter that makes just one major assumption and one minor assumption. The major assumption is that all the JSON entities are conformal. In your case, it means that all corresponding objects have the same keys (though they may be in different order). If this assumption is ever violated, an error … Read more
We can solve this problem by two ways. They are: Input string: // test.json { “keys”: [“key1″,”key2″,”key3”] } Approach 1: 1) Use jq -r (output raw strings, not JSON texts) . KEYS=$(jq -r ‘.keys’ test.json) echo $KEYS # Output: [ “key1”, “key2”, “key3” ] 2) Use @sh (Converts input string to a series of space-separated … Read more
-c is what you likely need Using the output you posted above, you can process it further: jq -c . input To Give; {“key”:”SEA-739″,”status”:”Open”,”assignee”:null} {“key”:”SEA-738″,”status”:”Resolved”,”assignee”:”user2@mycompany.com”} Or you can just change your original command FROM jq -r ‘(.issues[] | {key, status: .fields.status.name, assignee: .fields.assignee.emailAddress})’ TO jq -c ‘(.issues[] | {key, status: .fields.status.name, assignee: .fields.assignee.emailAddress})’
The semantics of ‘contains’ is not straightforward at all. In general, it would be better to use ‘index’ to test if an array has a specific value, e.g. .fruit | index( “orange” ) However, if the item of interest is itself an array, the general form: ARRAY | index( [ITEM] ) should be used, e.g.: … Read more
Use the -r (or –raw-output) option to emit raw strings as output: jq -r ‘.name’ <json.txt
