Episode 86 - JQ

We all love JSON data, don’t we?

Well, unless you are working with JSON directly from say C# or whatever flavour of language you use, working with JSON data can be a challenge sometimes. Sure, if you are in native JavaScript land or one of the many plethora of JS frameworks, then “JavaScript Object Notation” (aka JSON) isn’t much use!

jq is a really neat command line JSON processor. Written in portable C, it seems to be available anywhere… and I mean anywhere! even the old Solaris (Sun Microsystems).

There is a great tutorial too!

Thanks to my good friend Tim Abell for suggesting this one!
