json-helpers.sh

# Using Python (almost always available)
alias jsonpp='python -m json.tool'

# Using jq (more powerful, needs installation)
# brew install jq
alias json='jq .'

# Pretty print with colors
alias jsonc='jq . -C'

# Usage examples:
# curl api.example.com/data | jsonpp
# cat data.json | json
# echo '{"name":"test"}' | jsonc

# Extract specific fields with jq
# cat data.json | jq '.users[].name'
# curl api.example.com | jq '.data.items[] | {id, name}'
