Tiny jq project repository

These are small projects I use to learn jq

• Docker image for jq
• json-to-csv.jq
• unnest.jq
• tests for the above

Docker image

I did not find an official Docker image and I needed one, so I made one. Feel free to use.

json-to-csv.jq

This is actually not written by me. I found it somewhere.

It reads flat json and produces csv. Remember to run using -s and -r options:

jq -s -r -f json-to-csv.jq flat.json

unnest.jq

I thought it would be an interesting challenge to make a version of json-to-csv.jq that can handle nested json. Eventually I made a separate jq program that converts nested json to flat json, after which it can be sent to json-to-csv.jq. It depends on the --stream and -s options.

jq --stream -s -f unnest.jq nested.json \
| jq -s -r -f json-to-csv.jq

Tests

Execute the tests running make test.
