jtc (an acronym for JSON transformational chains) is a simple yet very powerful and efficient CLI utility tool to process and manipulate JSON data.
This tool selects one or multiple elements from a source JSON and apply various actions on the selected elements at once (wrap selected elements into a new JSON, filter in/out, sort elements, update elements, insert new elements, remove, copy, move, compare, transform, swap around and many other operations).
jtc is free and open source software.
Features include:
- Simple user interface allowing applying a bulk of changes in a single or chained sets of commands.
- Featured walk-path interface lets extracting any combination of data from sourced JSON trees.
- Extracted data is representable either as found, or could be encapsulated in JSON array/object or transformed using templates.
- Supports Regular Expressions when searching source JSON.
- Fast and efficient processing of very large JSON files (various built-in search caches).
- Insert/update operations optionally may undergo shell cli evaluation.
- Supports in-place modifications of the input/source JSON file.
- Features namespaces, facilitating interpolation of preserved JSON values in templates.
- Supports buffered and streamed modes of input read.
- Sports concurrent input JSON reading/parsing (on multi-core CPU).
- Extensively debuggable.
- conforms to JSON specification.
