json.sh

json.sh is a very portable JSON parser-- it should work in just about any shell you throw at it. Right now, it can only parse and output variables etc in a JSON file in a more script-friendly form, but write support will be added later.

Usage

To use json.sh, you can simply run json.sh with a filename as an argument. Here's an example command and it's output: sh json.sh example.json /animals /animals/pig /animals/pig/tail /animals/pig/tail = curly /animals/pig/nose /animals/pig/nose = adorable /animals/sheep /animals/sheep/tail /animals/sheep/tail = short /animals/sheep/nose /animals/sheep/nose = ugly

There are also a few useful arguments you should keep note of:

argument	description
-v $string	Only print variables with the name $string
-s $string	Only print the value of the variable $string
-V $string	Only print variables with the value $string
-o $string	Only print the object $string

With -v and -s, for example, $string could be anything from tail to /pig/tail to /animals/pig/tail. Same syntax goes for -o. -V is the only odd one out-- it's $string needs to be a variable's value, like adorable from /pig/nose.
