jq-httpd

Send your JSON to a specially formatted URL, transform them, and send them on their way!

Usage

Start the server. It defaults to listening on port 8081. This can be changed with the PORT environment variable.

Send JSON via POST, PUT, whatever to /v1/jq/FILTER/to/DEST

• FILTER: has to be a valid jq filter, urlencoded
• DEST: has to be a valid URL, urlencoded

If FILTER is left blank, the transformed JSON is returned to the client.

To actually use the DEST as a jq filter, use the /v1/jq/FILTER/tq/DEST url notation.

To use a FILTER of simply '.', it must be URL encoded to %2E.

Examples

This requires a server on the same localhost as the server, on port 8082

Identify your vegetables:

curl -i -d '{"fruit": "watermelon"}' "localhost:8081/jq/%7Bvegetable%3A%20.name%7D/to/http%3A%2F%2F127.0.0.1%3A8082"

Use bits from the post data in the url with /tq/ intead of /to/:

curl -i -d "{\"date\": $(date +%s)}" "localhost:8081/v1/jq/$(urlencode '.')/tq/$(urlencode '"http://127.0.0.1:8082/"+ (.date | strftime("%Y-%m-%d"))')"
