jq

Command-line JSON processor

jq is like sed for JSON data – you can use it to slice and filter and map and transform structured data with the same ease that sed, awk, grep and friends let you play with text. It is written in portable C. jq can mangle the data format that you have into the one that you want with very little effort, and the program to do so is often shorter and simpler than you'd expect.

Installation

Install the latest version of jq as follows:

guix install jq

Or install a particular version:

guix install jq@1.8.0

You can also install packages in augmented, pure or containerized environments for development or simply to try them out without polluting your user profile. See the guix shell documentation for more information.

Badge code

You can use the following badge to inform users of jq about the latest version available in Guix.
