I really, really love `jq`

Wow, that's a lot of JSON for my bio...

Let's at least pretty print it...

Since Contentful is being used read-only, we don't need any of the sys metadata...

Maybe we make an object a real human wants to deal with (and that isn't streaming a ton of useless information to our web app)

$ cat data/bio/kurt-roberts.json | jq '. | { name: .fields.name, 
      title: .fields.title?, description: .fields.description?, 
      slug: .fields.slug, pastClients: .fields.pastClients?, 
      socialNetworks : [.fields.socialNetworks[].fields] }'
{
  "name": "Kurt Roberts",
  "title": "Chief Creative Technologist?",
  "description": "Senior engineering and design team lead with 15+ years of experience creating solutions for high-profile brands such as Coca-Cola, BlueCross BlueShield America, General Mills and DirecTV, and powerful forces for change such as Facing History and Ourselves, The Washington Area Women's Foundation, Humane Society of the United States and Planned Parenthood.",
  "slug": "kurt-roberts",
  "pastClients": [
    "Coca-Cola",
    "BlueCross BlueShield America",
    "General Mills",
    "DirecTV",
    "Facing History and Ourselves",
    "Humane Society of the United States",
    "Planned Parenthood."
  ],
  "socialNetworks": [
    {
      "name": "Kurt's LinkedIn",

    },
    {
      "name": "Kurt's Github",
      "url": "https://github.com/kurtroberts"
    }
  ]
}

How much data did we save again?

$ cat data/bio/kurt-roberts.json | wc -c
    1995
$ cat data/bio/kurt-roberts.json | jq '. | { name: .fields.name, title: .fields.title?, description: .fields.description?, slug: .fields.slug, pastClients: .fields.pastClients?, socialNetworks : [.fields.socialNetworks[].fields] }' | wc -c
     912
