I am proud to announce the first release of Jsonpat.

Jsonpat is a command line tool that allows to write json to json tranformations, using

pattern-matching, directly in the shell.

For example given the file, myexample.json :

{"name":"ouipk","gender":"M","age":20}

{"name":"Cartwright",

 "age":39 }

{"age":24,"name":"Colbert","gender":"M"}

The following command extracts the values present in the field "name":

$ jsonpat -p '{name:x} -> x' myexample.json

"ouipk"

"Cartwright"

"Colbert"

The source code and documentation can be found here:

Comments and suggestions are more than welcome.
