ripjson

A fast and lean way to grep in JSON files.

Installation

$ cargo install ripjson

Usage

Usage: rj <regex> <files> [options]

Options:
    -i, --ignore-case   Search case insensitively.
    -s, --sensitive-case
                        Search case sensitively [default].
    -h, --help          Print this help menu.
    -v, --version       Print version.
        --color <WHEN>  Color output.
                        WHEN can be never, always, or auto [default].

Prints all JSON keys and values in <files> whose keys match <regex>.

<regex> specifies for which JSON keys to search for. Separate path elements with a /, e.g. user/name, similar to the JSON pointer syntax specfied in https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6901.
