简介
如果说要给Linux文本三剑客(grep、sed、awk)添加一员的话，我觉得应该是jq命令，因为jq命令是用来处理json数据的工具，而现如今json几乎无所不在！
网上的jq命令分享文章也不少，但大多介绍得非常浅，jq的强大之处完全没有介绍出来，所以就有了这篇文章，安利一下jq这个命令。
基本用法
格式化
# jq默认的格式化输出
$ echo -n '{"id":1, "name":"zhangsan", "score":[75, 85, 90]}'|jq .
{
"id": 1,
"name": "zhangsan",
"score": [
75,
85,
90
]
}
# -c选项则是压缩到1行输出
$ jq -c . <<eof
{
"id": 1,
"name": "zhangsan",
"score": [
75,
85,
90
]
}
eof
{"id":1,"name":"zhangsan","score":[75,85,90]}属性提取
# 获取id字段
$ echo -n '{"id":1, "name":"zhangsan", "score":[75, 85, 90]}'|jq '.id'
1
# 获取name字段
$ echo -n '{"id":1, "name":"zhangsan", "score":[75, 85, 90]}'|jq '.name'
"zhangsan"
# 获取name字段，-r 解开字符串引号
$ echo -n '{"id":1, "name":"zhangsan", "score":[75, 85, 90]}'|jq -r '.name'
zhangsan
# 多层属性值获取
$ echo -n '{"id":1, "name":"zhangsan", "attr":{"height":1.78,"weight":"60kg"}}'|jq '.attr.height'
1.78
# 获取数组中的值
$ echo -n '{"id":1, "name":"zhangsan", "score":[75, 85, 90]}'|jq -r '.score[0]'
75
$ echo -n '[75, 85, 90]'|jq -r '.[0]'
75
# 数组截取
$ echo -n '[75, 85, 90]'|jq -r '.[1:3]'
[
85,
90
]
# []展开数组
$ echo -n '[75, 85, 90]'|jq '.[]'
75
85
90
# ..展开所有结构
$ echo -n '{"id":1, "name":"zhangsan", "score":[75, 85, 90]}'|jq -c '..'
{"id":1,"name":"zhangsan","score":[75,85,90]}
1
"zhangsan"
[75,85,90]
75
85
90
# 从非对象类型中提取字段，会报错
$ echo -n '{"id":1, "name":"zhangsan", "attr":{"height":1.78,"weight":"60kg"}}'|jq '.name.alias'
jq: error (at <stdin>:0): Cannot index string with string "alias"
# 使用?号可以避免这种报错
$ echo -n '{"id":1, "name":"zhangsan", "attr":{"height":1.78,"weight":"60kg"}}'|jq '.name.alias?'
# //符号用于，当前面的表达式取不到值时，执行后面的表达式
$ echo -n '{"id":1, "name":"zhangsan", "attr":{"height":1.78,"weight":"60kg"}}'|jq '.alias//.name'
"zhangsan"管道、逗号与括号
# 管道可以将值从前一个命令传送到后一个命令
$ echo -n '{"id":1, "name":"zhangsan", "attr":{"height":1.78,"weight":"60kg"}}'|jq '.attr|.height'
1.78
# jq中做一些基础运算也是可以的
$ echo -n '{"id":1, "name":"zhangsan", "attr":{"height":1.78,"weight":"60kg"}}'|jq '.attr|.height*100|tostring + "cm"'
"178cm"
# 逗号使得可以执行多个jq表达式，使得一个输入可计算出多个输出结果
$ echo 1 | jq '., ., .'
1
1
1
# 括号用于提升表达式的优先级，如下：逗号优先级低于算术运算
$ $ echo '1'|jq '.+1, .*2'
2

$ echo '1'|jq '(.+1, .)*2'

# 管道优先级低于逗号
$ echo '1'|jq '., .|tostring'
"1"
"1"
$ echo '1'|jq '., (.|tostring)'

"1"理解jq执行过程
表面上jq是用来处理json数据的，但实际上jq能处理的是任何json基础元素所形成的流，如integer、string、bool、null、object、array等，jq执行过程大致如下：
- jq从流中获取一个json元素
- jq执行表达式，表达式生成新的json元素
- jq将新的json元素打印输出
可以看看这些示例，如下：
# 这里jq实际上将1 2 3 4当作4个integer元素，每找到一个元素就执行+1操作
# jq实际上是流式处理的，1 2 3 4可以看成流中的4个元素
$ echo '1 2 3 4'|jq '. + 1'
2
3
4
5
# 流中的元素不需要是同种类型，只要是完整的json元素即可
$ jq '"<" + tostring + ">"' <<eof
1
"zhangsan"
true
{"id":1}
[75, 80, 85]
eof
"<1>"
"<zhangsan>"
"<true>"
"<{\"id\":1}>"
"<[75,80,85]>"
# -R选项可用于将读取到的json元素，都当作字符串对待
$ seq 4|jq -R '.'
"1"
"2"
"3"
"4"
# -s选项将从流中读取到的所有json元素，变成一个json数组元素
# 这里理解为jq从流中只取到了1个json元素，这个json元素的类型是数组
$ seq 4|jq -s .
[
1,
2,
3,
4
]基础运算
jq支持 + - * / % 运算，对于+号，如果是字符串类型，则是做字符串拼接，如下：
# 做加减乘除运算
$ echo 1|jq '.+1, .-1, .*2, ./2, .%2'
2
0
2
0.5
1
# 赋值运算
$ echo -n '{"id":1,"name":"zhangsan","age":"17","score":"75"}'|jq '.id=2' -c
{"id":2,"name":"zhangsan","age":"17","score":"75"}数据构造
jq可以很方便的将其它数据，转化为json对象或数组，如下：
# 使用[]构造数组元素，-n告诉jq没有输入数据，直接执行表达式并生成输出数据
$ jq -n '[1,2,3,4]' -c
[1,2,3,4]
$ cat data.txt
id name age score
1 zhangsan 17 75
2 lisi 16 80
3 wangwu 18 85
4 zhaoliu 18 90
# 每行分割成数组，[]构造新的数组输出
$ tail -n+2 data.txt|jq -R '[splits("\\s+")]' -c
["1","zhangsan","17","75"]
["2","lisi","16","80"]
["3","wangwu","18","85"]
["4","zhaoliu","18","90"]
$ jq -n '{id:1, name:"zhangsan"}' -c
{"id":1,"name":"zhangsan"}
# 每行转换为对象，{}构造新的对象格式输出
$ tail -n+2 data.txt|jq -R '[splits("\\s+")] | {id:.[0]|tonumber, name:.[1], age:.[2], score:.[3]}' -c

1653850310高级用法
实际上jq是一门脚本语言，它也支持变量、分支结构、循环结构与自定义函数，如下：
$ cat data.json
{"id":1,"name":"zhangsan","sex": 0, "age":"17","score":"75"}
{"id":2,"name":"lisi","sex": 1, "age":"16","score":"80"}
{"id":3,"name":"wangwu","sex": 0, "age":"18","score":"85"}
{"id":4,"name":"zhaoliu","sex": 0, "age":"18","score":"90"}
# 单变量定义
$ cat data.json| jq '.id as $id|$id'
1
2
3
4
# 对象展开式变量定义
$ cat data.json |jq '. as {id:$id,name:$name}|"id:\($id),name:\($name)"'
"id:1,name:zhangsan"
"id:2,name:lisi"
"id:3,name:wangwu"
"id:4,name:zhaoliu"
$ cat data.json
["1","zhangsan","17","75"]
["2","lisi","16","80"]
["3","wangwu","18","85"]
["4","zhaoliu","18","90"]
# 数组展开式变量定义
$ cat data.json|jq '. as [$id,$name]|"id:\($id),name:\($name)"'
"id:1,name:zhangsan"
"id:2,name:lisi"
"id:3,name:wangwu"
"id:4,name:zhaoliu"
# 分支结构
$ cat data.json|jq '. as [$id,$name]|if ($id>"1") then "id:\($id),name:\($name)" else empty end'
"id:2,name:lisi"
"id:3,name:wangwu"
"id:4,name:zhaoliu"
# 循环结构，第一个表达式条件满足时，执行只每二个表达式
# 循环结构除了while，还有until、recurse等
$ echo 1|jq 'while(.<100; .*2)'
1
2
4
8
16
32
64
# 自定义计算3次方的函数
$ echo 2|jq 'def cube: .*.*. ; cube'
8由于这些高级特性并不常用，这里仅给出了一些简单示例，详细使用可以man jq查看。
辅助shell编程
熟悉shell脚本编程的同学都知道，shell本身是没有提供Map、List这种数据结构的，这导致使用shell实现某些功能时，变得很棘手。
但jq本身是处理json的，而json中的对象就可等同于Map，json中的数组就可等同于List，如下：
list='[]';
#List添加元素
list=$(echo "$list"|jq '. + [ $val ]' --arg val java);
list=$(echo "$list"|jq '. + [ $val ]' --arg val shell);
#获取List大小
echo "$list"|jq '.|length'
#获取List第1个元素
echo "$list"|jq '.[0]' -r
# List是否包含java字符串
echo "$list"|jq 'any(.=="java")'
#删除List第1个元素
list=$(echo "$list"|jq 'del(.[0])');
# List合并
list=$(echo "$list"|jq '. + $val' --argjson val '["shell","python"]');
# List截取
echo "$list"|jq '.[1:3]'
# List遍历
for o in $(echo "$list" | jq -r '.[]');do
echo "$o";
done
map='{}';
#Map添加元素
map=$(echo "$map"|jq '.id=$val' --argjson val 1)
map=$(echo "$map"|jq '.courses=$val' --argjson val "$list")
#获取Map大小
echo "$map"|jq '.|length'
#获取Map指定key的值
echo "$map"|jq '.id' -r
#判断Map指定key是否存在
echo "$map" | jq 'has("id")'
#删除Map指定key
map=$(echo "$map"|jq 'del(.id)')
# Map合并
map=$(echo "$map"|jq '. + $val' --argjson val '{"code":"ID001","name":"hello"}')
# Map的KeySet遍历
for key in $(echo "$map" | jq -r 'keys[]'); do
value=$(jq '.[$a]' --arg a "$key" -r <<<"$map");
printf "%s:%s\n" "$key" "$value";
done
# Map的entrySet遍历
while read -r line; do
key=$(jq '.key' -r <<<"$line");
value=$(jq '.value' -r <<<"$line");
printf "%s:%s\n" "$key" "$value";
done <<<$(echo "$map" | jq 'to_entries[]' -c)总结
可以发现，jq已经实现了json数据处理与分析的方方面面，我个人最近在工作中，也多次使用jq来分析调用日志等，用起来确实非常方便。
如果你现在还没完全学会jq的用法，没关系，建议先收藏起来，后面一定会用得到的！
