JQ Command in Linux with Examples
JSON is a data representation format that is used to store and transfer data between different layers of an application; it stores data in key: value pairs. The syntax of JSON was derived from JavaScript but it itself is language independent. It is compatible with many programming languages; these languages include code that can be used to integrate JSON into the program; but unfortunately, we cannot work with JSON directly in Linux shell as it cannot interpret it. To work with JSON in the Linux shell we use a mixture of tools such as JQ and sed.
