JSON

  • ALWAYS use jq for producing JSON output to ensure validity.
  • Use jq to parse JSON input. If you know the structure, use jq filters to extract specific fields. JSON is often token-heavy, so optimizing for size is important.
    • Use jq filters like keys, type, and length to inspect JSON structures.
    • When fetching from the internet, output JSON to temporary files in tmp/ directory to allow for inspection.
