JSON REPL?

[// ravi]

Anyone know if there exists a tool that provides a REPL-like interface (i.e., interactive CLI) to JSON? Something using which I can do:

$ jsonrepl ./myfile.json

json> show

{

    “k1” : “val1”,

    “k2” : true,

    “k3” : { “k31” : “val31”, “k32” : “val32” }

}

json> cd “k3”

json> show

{

    “k31” : “val31”,

    “k32” : “val32”

}

json> set k31 = val31new

json> cd ..

json> print k1.k31

“val31new”

… etc …

I want to check before I write one.

I usually use node's repl to explore json:

> obj = require("./myfile")

> obj["k3"]

> obj["k3"] = "foo"

etc...

Xavi, thank you for the response. The above is indeed what got me thinking :-). It’s what I do and while trying to explain it to a non-tech person, I realised I could simplify the process for him if I removed some of the Node/JS specific actions.

Not sure if there is anything already, but implementing a little
prompt loop and taking the JSONPath module [1] for a spin might be a
fun little project to help others learn how to navigate and slice
JSON.

Cheers,
Branden
