Data Processing

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

Tools

Tool Command Use For
jq jq '.key' file.json JSON processing
yq yq '.key' file.yaml YAML/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

Quick Reference

Task jq yq
Get field jq '.key' yq '.key'
Array element jq '.[0]' yq '.[0]'
Filter array jq '.[] | select(.x)' yq '.[] | select(.x)'
Transform jq 'map(.x)' yq 'map(.x)'
Count jq 'length' yq 'length'
Keys jq 'keys' yq 'keys'
Pretty print jq '.' yq '.'
Compact jq -c yq -o json -I0
Raw output jq -r yq -r
In-place edit - yq -i
