Jshon parses, reads and creates JSON. It is designed to be as usable as
|
|
|
|
|
possible from within the shell and replaces fragile ad hoc parsers made
|
2015-12-15 15:49:14 +01:00
|
|
|
from grep/sed/awk as well as heavyweight one-line parsers made from
|
|
|
|
|
perl/python.

Jshon loads JSON text from stdin, performs actions, then displays the last
|
|
|
|
|
action on stdout. Some of the options output JSON, others output plain text
|
|
|
|
|
meta information. Because Bash has very poor nested data structures, Jshon does
|
|
|
|
|
not try to return a native bash data structure as a typical library would.
|
|
|
|
|
Instead, Jshon provides a history stack containing all the manipulations.

The big change in the latest release is switching the everything from
|
|
|
|
|
pass-by-value to pass-by-reference. In a typical use case (processing AUR
|
|
|
|
|
search results for 'python') by-ref is twice as fast and uses one sixth the
|
|
|
|
|
memory. If you are editing JSON, by-ref also makes your life a lot easier as
|
|
|
|
|
modifications do not need to be manually inserted through the entire stack.
