我试图解析从curl请求返回的JSON,就像这样:
curl 'http://twitter.com/users/username.json' |
sed -e 's/[{}]/''/g' |
awk -v k="text" '{n=split($0,a,","); for (i=1; i<=n; i++) print a[i]}'
上面将JSON划分为多个字段,例如:
% ...
"geo_enabled":false
"friends_count":245
"profile_text_color":"000000"
"status":"in_reply_to_screen_name":null
"source":"web"
"truncated":false
"text":"My status"
"favorited":false
% ...
我如何打印一个特定的字段(由-v k=文本表示)?
如果有人只想从简单的JSON对象中提取值,而不需要嵌套结构,那么甚至不需要离开Bash就可以使用正则表达式。
下面是我使用基于JSON标准的bash正则表达式定义的函数:
function json_extract() {
local key=$1
local json=$2
local string_regex='"([^"\]|\\.)*"'
local number_regex='-?(0|[1-9][0-9]*)(\.[0-9]+)?([eE][+-]?[0-9]+)?'
local value_regex="${string_regex}|${number_regex}|true|false|null"
local pair_regex="\"${key}\"[[:space:]]*:[[:space:]]*(${value_regex})"
if [[ ${json} =~ ${pair_regex} ]]; then
echo $(sed 's/^"\|"$//g' <<< "${BASH_REMATCH[1]}")
else
return 1
fi
}
注意:对象和数组不支持作为值,但支持标准中定义的所有其他值类型。另外,只要具有完全相同的键名,无论对在JSON文档中有多深,都将匹配。
以OP为例:
$ json_extract text "$(curl 'http://twitter.com/users/username.json')"
My status
$ json_extract friends_count "$(curl 'http://twitter.com/users/username.json')"
245
如果你安装了PHP解释器:
php -r 'var_export(json_decode(`curl http://twitter.com/users/username.json`, 1));'
例如:
我们有一个资源,提供JSON内容与国家的ISO代码:http://country.io/iso3.json,我们可以很容易地看到它在一个shell与curl:
curl http://country.io/iso3.json
但它看起来不是很方便,也不容易读。更好地解析JSON内容并看到可读的结构:
php -r 'var_export(json_decode(`curl http://country.io/iso3.json`, 1));'
这段代码将打印如下内容:
array (
'BD' => 'BGD',
'BE' => 'BEL',
'BF' => 'BFA',
'BG' => 'BGR',
'BA' => 'BIH',
'BB' => 'BRB',
'WF' => 'WLF',
'BL' => 'BLM',
...
如果你有嵌套数组,这个输出看起来会更好…
对于更复杂的JSON解析,我建议使用Python jsonpath模块(Stefan Goessner) -
Install it -
sudo easy_install -U jsonpath
Use it -
Example file.json (from http://goessner.net/articles/JsonPath) -
{ "store": {
"book": [
{ "category": "reference",
"author": "Nigel Rees",
"title": "Sayings of the Century",
"price": 8.95
},
{ "category": "fiction",
"author": "Evelyn Waugh",
"title": "Sword of Honour",
"price": 12.99
},
{ "category": "fiction",
"author": "Herman Melville",
"title": "Moby Dick",
"isbn": "0-553-21311-3",
"price": 8.99
},
{ "category": "fiction",
"author": "J. R. R. Tolkien",
"title": "The Lord of the Rings",
"isbn": "0-395-19395-8",
"price": 22.99
}
],
"bicycle": {
"color": "red",
"price": 19.95
}
}
}
Parse it (extract all book titles with price < 10) -
cat file.json | python -c "import sys, json, jsonpath; print '\n'.join(jsonpath.jsonpath(json.load(sys.stdin), 'store.book[?(@.price < 10)].title'))"
Will output -
Sayings of the Century
Moby Dick
Note: The above command line does not include error checking. For a full solution with error checking, you should create a small Python script, and wrap the code with try-except.
