Jazor¶ ↑

Jazor is a simple command line JSON parsing tool.

Installation¶ ↑

gem install jazor

General usage¶ ↑

jazor [options] [source] [slice]

• The source option refers to a file, URL or string containing JSON data. Jazor also accepts input from STDIN.

• The slice option refers to the piece of JSON data you’re interested in. This is usually just the name of an attribute, but you can also access it like a hash (e.g. json), or if the JSON object is an array, like an array (e.g. json, etc.).

Examples¶ ↑

Reading the entire JSON object from a URL¶ ↑

jazor 'http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/web?v=1.0&q=jazor'

Reading a JSON “slice” from a URL¶ ↑

jazor 'http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/web?v=1.0&q=jazor' responseData.results[0].title

Testing the value of a JSON “slice”¶ ↑

jazor 'http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/web?v=1.0&q=jazor' -t 'responseData.results.is_a?(Array)'
