# jsontools
|
|
|
|
Handy command line tools for dealing with json data.
|
|
|
|
To use it, add `jsontools` to the plugins array in your zshrc file:
|
|
|
|
```zsh
|
|
plugins=(... jsontools)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Usage is simple... just take your json data and pipe it into the appropriate jsontool:
|
|
|
|
- `pp_json`: pretty prints json.
|
|
- `is_json`: returns true if valid json; false otherwise.
|
|
- `urlencode_json`: returns a url encoded string for the given json.
|
|
- `urldecode_json`: returns decoded json for the given url encoded string.
|
|
|
|
### Supports NDJSON (Newline Delimited JSON)
|
|
|
|
The plugin also supports [NDJSON](http://ndjson.org/) input, which means all functions
|
|
have an alternative function that reads and processes the input line by line. These
|
|
functions have the same name except using `ndjson` instead of `json`:
|
|
|
|
> `pp_ndjson`, `is_ndjson`, `urlencode_ndjson`, `urldecode_ndjson`.
|
|
|
|
### Examples
|
|
|
|
- **pp_json**:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
# curl json data and pretty print the results
|
|
curl https://coderwall.com/bobwilliams.json | pp_json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- **is_json**:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
# validate if file's content conforms to a valid JSON schema
|
|
$ is_json < data.json
|
|
true
|
|
# shows true / false and returns the proper exit code
|
|
$ echo $?
|
|
0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- **urlencode_json**:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
# json data directly from the command line
|
|
$ echo '{"b":2, "a":1}' | urlencode_json
|
|
%7B%22b%22:2,%20%22a%22:1%7D
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- **urldecode_json**:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
# url encoded string to decode
|
|
$ echo '%7B%22b%22:2,%20%22a%22:1%7D' | urldecode_json
|
|
{"b":2, "a":1}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- **pp_ndjson**:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
# echo two separate json objects and pretty print both
|
|
$ echo '{"a": "b"}\n{"c": [1,2,3]}' | pp_ndjson
|
|
{
|
|
"a": "b"
|
|
}
|
|
{
|
|
"c": [
|
|
1,
|
|
2,
|
|
3
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
```
