Parsing a set of JSON objects with jq
A have a big block of JSON l'm trying to parse, that looks basically like
{
"order": [
"hash1",
"hash2"
],
"posts": {
"hash4": {
"id": "hash4",
"message": "lorem ipsem"
},
"hash5": {
"id": "hash5",
"message": "dolor sit amet"
},
"hash6": {
"id": "hash6",
"message": "consectetur adipiscing elit"
}
}
}
The way I've been handling this so far is to just grep for messages
$ grep 'message' jq_dat.json
"message": "lorem ipsem"
"message": "dolor sit amet"
"message": "consectetur adipiscing elit"
This works for my current purposes, but l'd like to know how to get the same effect with jq. I.e.
$ jq .posts.<something>.message < jq_dat.json
"lorem ipsem"
"dolor sit amet"
"consectetur adipiscing elit"
I've tried using and {} in place of something, but those both spit back compile errors.
