HERE is sample json file.
sample.json
{
"apps": [
{
"name": "app1"
},
{
"name": "app2"
},
{
"name": "app3"
}
],
"test": [
{
"name": "test1"
},
{
"name": "test2"
}
]
}
I want to divide the above JSON file into the following two files.
I want to manage the entire configuration file with one JSON, divide the file when necessary and give it to the tool.
apps.json
{
"apps": [
{
"name": "app1"
},
{
"name": "app2"
},
{
"name": "app3"
}
}
test.json
// Not contain the key
{
"test": [
{
"name": "test1"
},
{
"name": "test1"
}
]
}
jq .apps sample.json outputs only value.
[
{
"name": "app1"
},
{
"name": "app2"
},
{
"name": "app3"
}
]
Can you have any idea?
>Solution :
Construct a new object using {x} which is a shorthand for {x: .x}.
jq '{apps}' sample.json
{
"apps": [
{
"name": "app1"
},
{
"name": "app2"
},
{
"name": "app3"
}
]
}
And likewise with {test}.
