jello VS jo

Jello let’s you use python syntax with dot notation without the stdin/stdout/json.loads boilerplate.

Yep, you can create a filter in jq to do that. Alternatively, if you prefer Python syntax you could try jello, which works like jq but is really Python under the hood. (I am also the author of jello)

I'm no expert in any of these tools, but here are some yamlpath and jello examples to match:

Similar in concept to jello[0] which works like jq but uses python syntax.

Or, if you prefer python list comprehension syntax, you could use Jello:

In addition to my previous comment about jq-like tools, I want to share a couple other interesting tools, which I use alongside jq are jo [0] and jc [1].

That should recursively list directories, counting only the files within each, and output² jsonl that can be further mangled within the shell². You could just as easily populate an associative array for further work, or $whatever. Unlike bash, zsh has reasonable behaviour around quoting and whitespace too.

I used a handy json utility called jo (sudo yum install jo)

APIs mostly use JSON as their payload. We can easily create them using jo. We can read the command output and put it to your current buffer. For example, we want to create a JSON object with a lower case uuid value for its id property, and a simple name.

I'm a big fan of jo[1] for making generating JSON from the shell not terrible.
