This is a wrapper over jq (https://stedolan.github.io/jq/) to
provide some access to JSON using RETRO.
~~~{{
:input swap '/tmp/r.json file:spew ;
:command 'cat_/tmp/r.json_|_jq_'%s'_>/tmp/r.json2 s:format ;
:process unix:system here '/tmp/r.json2 file:slurp ;
:results '/tmp/r.json '/tmp/r.json2 &file:delete bi@ here ;
---reveal---
:jq (ss-s) input command process results ;
}}
~~~
With this, I can begin to parse JSON and do things with it.
Import a JSON test set (https://api.github.com/repos/stedolan/jq/commits?per_page=5)
~~~'JSON d:create
here 'test.json file:slurp here s:length n:inc !Heap
~~~
Extract the commit messages using jq.
~~~JSON '.[]_|_{message:_.commit.message}_|_flatten jq s:temp
~~~
This leaves output like:
[
"Improve jv_is_integer()"
]
[
"Dockerfile: Change base image to Debian Stable"
]
I can tokenize this and filter out the [ ] pairs:
~~~ASCII:LF s:tokenize [ fetch [ $[ eq? ] [ $] eq? ] bi or not ] a:filter
~~~
And then display the resulting lines:
~~~[ s:put nl ] a:for-each
~~~
