jsed: A JSON Editor

jsed is a small command-line utility to add, remove, and search for data in a JSON structure.

Not to be confused with any other jsed.

Examples

$ echo {} | jsed add object --path foo --value bar -r
{
  "foo": "bar"
}

$ echo {} | jsed add object --path foo --value bar | jsed add array --path bar.baz --value a --value b --value c -r
{
  "bar": {
    "baz": [
      "a",
      "b",
      "c"
    ]
  },
  "foo": "bar"
}

$ echo {} | jsed add object --path foo --value bar | jsed add array --path bar.baz --value a --value b --value c | jsed get --path bar.baz.1
b

$ echo {} | jsed add object --path service \
                            --key name --value redis_master \

                            --key checks --value []  \
          | jsed add array --path service.tags --value master --value redis --value mysql \
          | jsed add object --path service.checks --key script --value /usr/local/bin/check_redis.py --key interval --value 10s \
          | jsed add object --path service.checks --key script --value /usr/local/bin/check_mysql.py --key interval --value 10s -r > service.json
