jq is too difficult
----------------------------------------

jq is too difficult, at least for me.

For example, extracting key-name when use is true only, from below JSON data.

.. code-block:: json

{
"apps": {
"foo": {
"use": true
},
"bar": {
"use": true
},
"boo": {
"use": true
},
"bee": {
"use": false
}
}
}

What is jq's answer? (taking over 30 minutes, my past challenges).

.. code-block:: console

$ cat data.json | jq '.apps | . as $$o | keys | map(select($$o[.].use))'
[
"bar",
"boo",
"foo"
]

If you have python's knowledge, this is tiny oneliner, isn't it?

.. code-block:: console

$ cat data.json | jqfpy '[k for k, opts in get("apps").items() if opts["use"]]'
[
"foo",
"bar",
"boo"
]

(`get()` is special function, like a `json.load(sys.stdin).get`.)

install
----------------------------------------

.. code-block:: console

$ pip install jqfpy


how to use
----------------------------------------

describe syntax
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

todo.

tutorial
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

this is jqfpy version of `jq's Tutorial <https://stedolan.github.io/jq/tutorial/>`_.

.. code-block:: console

$ alias jsonDATA="curl 'https://api.github.com/repos/stedolan/jq/commits?per_page=5'"
# jq.
$ jsonDATA | jq '.'
# jqfpy.
$ jsonDATA | jqfpy 'get()'

.. code-block:: console

# jq.
$ jsonDATA | jq '.[0]'
# jqfpy.
$ jsonDATA | jqfpy 'get()[0]'

.. code-block:: console

# jq.
$ jsonDATA | jq '.[0] | {message: .commit.message, name: .commit.committer.name}'
# jqfpy.
$ jsonDATA | jqfpy 'd = get()[0]; {"message": get("commit/message", d), "name": get("commit/committer/name", d)}'
# or
$ jsonDATA | jqfpy '{"message": get("0/commit/message"), "name": get("0/commit/committer/name")}'

.. code-block:: console

# jq.
$ jsonDATA | jq '.[] | {message: .commit.message, name: .commit.committer.name}'
# jqfpy.
$ jsonDATA | jqfpy --squash 'L = get(); [{"message": get("commit/message", d), "name": get("commit/committer/name", d)} for d in L]'

.. code-block:: console

# jq.
$ jsonDATA | jq '[.[] | {message: .commit.message, name: .commit.committer.name, parents: [.parents[].html_url]}]'
# jqfpy.
$ jsonDATA | 'L = get(); [{"message": get("commit/message", d), "name": get("commit/committer/name", d), "parents": [p["html_url"] for p in d["parents"]]} for d in L]'
# or (using h.pick)
$ jsonDATA | 'L = get(); [h.pick("commit/message@message", "commit/committer/name@name", "parents[]/html_url@parents", d=d) for d in L]'

additionals
----------------------------------------

other formats support
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

jqfpy is supporting other formats(but this is experimental feature)

- yaml
- ltsv

if you want to use yaml supported version. install via below command.

.. code-block:: console

$ pip install jqfpy[yaml]


and calling jqfpy with `--input-format,-i` option and `--output-format,-o` option.

02data.yaml

.. code-block:: yaml

person:
name: foo
age: 20
nickname: fool


.. code-block:: console

$ cat 02data.yaml | jqfpy -i yaml 'get("person")'
{
"name": "foo",
"age": 20,
"nickname": "fool"
}

$ cat 02data.yaml | jqfpy -i yaml -o ltsv 'get("person")'
name:foo age:20 nickname:fool


helper functions
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

helper functions are included.

- pick()
- omit()

pick()

.. code-block:: console

$ cat 02data.yaml | jqfpy -i yaml 'h.pick("person/name", "person/age")'
{
"person": {
"name": "foo",
"age": 20
}
}

$ cat 02data.yaml | jqfpy -i yaml 'h.pick("person/name@name", "person/age@age")'
{
"name": "foo",
"age": 20
}

omit()

.. code-block:: console

$ cat 02data.yaml | jqfpy -i yaml 'h.omit("person/nickname")'
{
"person": {
"name": "foo",
"age": 20
}
}

individual helper module with --additionals
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

match.py

.. code-block:: python

import re


def match(rx, text):
if text is None:
return False
return re.search(rx, text)


.. code-block:: console

$ cat examples/additionals/00data.json | jqfpy --additionals=./match.py '[d for d in get("constraint") if h.match("^1\..+", d.get("version"))]'
[
{
"name": "github.com/Masterminds/vcs",
"version": "1.11.0"
},

"name": "github.com/boltdb/bolt",
"version": "1.0.0"
