PBS 155 – Introducing JSON Processing from the Shell with `jq`

<p>After our annual break from Programming By Stealth that happens at an unknown time for an unknown length every single year, Bart and I are back with a new episode of Programming By Stealth. Bart introduces us to a language called jq _and_ a terminal command called `jq` which together are used to help query JSON files, see "pretty versions of them, and also to manipulate them. </p> <p>We don't learn a lot of commands but Bart walks us through a few examples to help illustrate why we care, or shall I say, "the problem to be solved"? I'm sold on the idea having just mucked about in a config files for homebridge this week.</p> <p>You can find Bart's fabulous tutorial shownotes at <a href="https://pbs.bartificer.net/pbs155">pbs.bartificer.net</a>.</p> <p>Read an unedited, auto-generated transcript: <a href="https://podfeet.com/transcripts/CCATP_2023_11_18.html">CCATP_2023_11_18</a></p> <p>Join our Slack at <a href="https://podfeet.com/slack">podfeet.com/slack</a> and look for the #pbs channel, and check out our <a href ="https://github.com/pbs-students" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pbs-student GitHub Organization</a>.
