Data Processing

Query, filter, and transform structured data (JSON, YAML, TOML) efficiently from the command line.

Tools

ToolCommandUse For
jqjq '.key' file.jsonJSON processing
yqyq '.key' file.yamlYAML/TOML processing

jq Essentials

# Extract single field
jq '.name' package.json

# Extract nested field
jq '.scripts.build' package.json

# Extract from array
jq '.dependencies[0]' package.json

# Extract multiple fields
jq '{name, version}' package.json

# Navigate deeply nested
jq '.data.users[0].profile.email' response.json

# Filter by condition
jq '.users[] | select(.active == true)' data.json

# Transform each element
jq '.users | map({id, name})' data.json

# Count elements
jq '.users | length' data.json

# Raw string output
jq -r '.name' package.json

yq Essentials

# Extract field
yq '.name' config.yaml

# Extract nested
yq '.services.web.image' docker-compose.yml

# List all keys
yq 'keys' config.yaml

# List all service names (Docker Compose)
yq '.services | keys' docker-compose.yml

# Get container images (K8s)
yq '.spec.template.spec.containers[].image' deployment.yaml

# Update value (in-place)
yq -i '.version = "2.0.0"' config.yaml

# TOML to JSON
yq -p toml -o json '.' config.toml
