I'm using jq to play with json. I was wondering how to conditionally print something in that.
Say I am interested in a field call geo
. I used the following command and find out there is only one entry whose geo
is null
:
% cat all.json | jq '.geo != null' | sort | uniq -c 1 false 6891 true
How can I print out that entry only without printing everything else?
Didn't see something like print
command in the manual. And this doesn't work: cat all.json | jq 'if .place == null then . end'
. jq
complained about syntax error.
You can use the select function to get only required entries:
jq 'select(.geo != null)' all.json
