<p>JSON is the “Javascript Object Notation”, basically a file format for data thats suitable for easy processing by most modern web-based tools.</p>
<p>Several tilde.club programs expose APIs essentially by spitting out JSON as their output, including e.g. the list of recently updated home pages at</p>
<p>http://tilde.club/~delfuego/tilde.24h.json</p>
<p>If youre looking to parse JSON from the command line with a minimum of code, the <code>jq</code> program may be your thing. <code>jq</code> is a filter that takes JSON on standard input and produces JSON on standard output. Along the way in the middle you can do various standard sorts of file munging on a field by field basis.</p>
<p><a href="http://stedolan.github.io/jq/manual/">Documentation for <code>jq</code> is in its manual.</a></p>
