Get a property value from JSON

['Siamack J. Farshi' [e-mail] [sed-users]]

Hi everyone,


I was wondering what is the best way given a JSON payload from a CURL command to retrieve a value of a property.Namely a JSON payload like follows. Also assuming that 'property' names are unique across the payload even if there are nested elements


{

"property1": "value1"

"property2: "value2"

"porperty3 : [

{

"property4": "value4"

}

]

}


Thank you.

Don't do that with `sed`. Use `jq`, `jq -a .property1 yourfile` (or
`-r` for even less decoration)

"Use jq" - Thanks! That's very useful to know. "Namely a JSON payload
like follows" - Just as a point of information, the JSON syntax is
messed up in several ways. Daniel
