# Syntax: js2json.rb [PATHNAME]
#
# This ruby script can be used to evaluate a single javascript
# expression (possibly including comments, arithmetic operators, etc.)
# and print the result as a JSON string.  This is useful for reading
# JSON-with-comments and javascript-style objects.
#
# The script will read from STDIN if no PATHNAME is specified.

# This gist defines a jq filter for combining two JSON objects by resolving conflicts
# in a way that is appropriate for mapping relational tables to objects. 
# "combine" as defined here is both commutative and associative.
# Example:
#           { "id": 123, "son": "Son1", "surname": "S"}
# | combine({ "id": 123, "son": "Son2", "surname": "S"})
# produces: { "id": 123, "son": ["Son1",Son2], "surname": "S"}


# Combine two entities in an array-oriented fashion.

# This gist defines a jq function that may be useful when migrating from a "relational" view of things to an "object" view.
#
# For example, suppose we have two JSON objects as follows, corresponding to a row in a relational table:
#
#    { "id": 123, "surname": "S", "son": "Son1", }
#    { "id": 123, "son": "Son2"}
#
# In this case, we want to merge the objects with the result:
#
#    { "id": 123, "surname": "S", "son": ["Son1", "Son2"]}
