----
Part 3 of the jq trilogy

In this part we cover using scripting with jq to programmatically change
JSON documents.

Today's APIs and databases feed us lots of JSON. It's a structured,
line-independent data format, and our normal line-based tools such as
grep, sed and awk fall a bit short.

jq understands JSON document format that's easy to fit into your data
pipeline. It can parse, search and manipulate JSON documents.

The first talk introduced jq and covered using it to search JSON objects
similar to how grep is used for plain text. The second talk covered using
jq to manipulate JSON documents. This talk will put those together with
scripting similar to writing awk scripts for columnar data.

ciao,
