  1. =head1 NAME
  2. App::PipeFilter
  3. =head1 DESCRIPTION
  4. App::PipeFilter is a distribution of shell pipeline filters designed
  5. to work with structured data like JSON rather than whitespace
  6. separated fields.
  7. For example, jcut is a simple version of cut(1) that understands JSON
  8. objects rather than whitespace separated fields.
  9. % head -1 sample.json
  10. {"network":"freenode","channel":"#perl","nick":"dngor","karma":"120"}
  11. % jcut -o network -o channel < eg/sample.json | sort | uniq
  12. {"network":"efnet","channel":"#perl"}
  13. {"network":"efnet","channel":"#poe"}
  14. {"network":"efnet","channel":"#reflex"}
  15. {"network":"freenode","channel":"#perl"}
  16. {"network":"freenode","channel":"#poe"}
  17. {"network":"freenode","channel":"#reflex"}
  18. {"network":"magnet","channel":"#perl"}
  19. {"network":"magnet","channel":"#poe"}
  20. {"network":"magnet","channel":"#reflex"}
  21. The jsonpath filter supports more complex expressions using
  22. JSON::Path's variant of JSONPath.

  31. =head1 DESIGN GOAL
  32. App::PipeFilter utilities generally follow the UNIX convention of
  33. printing one record per line of text. This maximizes compatibility
  34. with UNIX utilities like sort(1), uniq(1) and grep(1).
  35. =head1 PRO TIPS
  36. JSON isn't particularly concise, so put grep(1), jcut(1) and other
  37. filters that eliminate data as early as possible in pipelines.
