Edit parts of inconsistently formatted json.
It's just a bit slower that doing this by hand!
Now you can easly select nodes in json tree
syntax:
selector | action | node type |
---|---|---|
* | select all items in current node | - |
[n] | select n-th item of curent node | array |
{n} | select n-th item of curent node | object |
key | select node chilld by name | object |
"key" | select node chilld by name | object |
> | mark current node as seleced | - |
a=b | check if current node has child 'a' with value 'b' | object |
example 1:
key > [0]
this pattern will match one element by:
- selecting "key" element in root node (assuring that is an object)
- select first element in it (assumintg its an array)
example 2:
name > *
this pattern will match multiple elements by:
- selecting "name" element in root node (assuring that is an object)
- select all element in it
pip install --upgrade pyjsonedit
import pyjsonedit
$ pyjsonedit-mask --help
Usage: pyjsonedit-mask [OPTIONS] PATTERN [JSONS]...
cli method for masking matching parts of json
Options:
--symbol TEXT
--color enable color output
--help Show this message and exit.
example:
pyjsonedit-mask "pass" "{'pass':123}"
{'pass':XXX}
$ pyjsonedit-modify --help
Usage: pyjsonedit-modify [OPTIONS] PATTERN TEMPLATE [JSONS]...
cli method for modifying matching parts of json
example 1: simple string
pyjsonedit-modify "pass" 'P@$W&$d' "{'pass':123}"
{'pass':P@$W&$d}
example 2: python code:
file /home/dave/somefile.py
#!/usr/bin/python3
def modify(node,ctx):
return "'<"+str(1)+">'"
node - matched node
ctx - context in witch node was matched: file_name & match_nr
pyjsonedit-modify "*" /home/dave/somefile.py "{'a':1}"
{'a':'<2>'}
