jqp

jq style parsing written in python

Here is a quick example,

# file1.txt
{
    "name1": "val1",
    "name2" : [
        {
            "name2a" : "val2a"
        }
    ]
}

>>> python .\jqp\  -e .name1 -f "file1.txt"
"val1"

>>> python .\jqp\  -e .name2[0] -f "file1.txt"
{
    "name2a": "val2a"
}

>>> python .\jqp\  -e .name2.name2a[0] -f "file1.txt"
"val2a"
