A question - do know of any good resources for jq? I haven't quite been "angry enough" to use jq much beyond using it for formatting json - but that's also partly because I can't seem to quite grasp the syntax.
It isn't quite "awk-ish", not quite cut/join/sort/uniq. But also not quite graphql? Which I suppose would be the "natural" language for a json-query tool?
I feel like I'm missing a piece - and missing out...
- chucky_z 7y agoThe manual is pretty dang good, tbh. https://stedolan.github.io/jq/manual/ https://stedolan.github.io/jq/manual/
- e12e 7y agoI agree that it is clear, but I still struggle to figure out (by myself) how to do (in an awk sense) simple things like: Filter out empty or null values: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39500608/remove-all-null-values https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39500608/remove-all-null... I seem to either end up with unwieldy, long/verbose solutions - or shorter ones that does not work :)
- chucky_z 7y agoOh wow, that's terrible! I tend to get 90% of the way with jq and then awk/sed/grep my way to the desired result (jq -r).
