pyjq: Binding for jq JSON Processor
===================================

[![CircleCI](https://circleci.com/gh/doloopwhile/pyjq.svg?style=svg)](https://circleci.com/gh/doloopwhile/pyjq)

pyjq is a Python bindings for jq (<http://stedolan.github.io/jq/>).

> jq is like sed for JSON data – you can use it to slice and filter and
> map and transform structured data with the same ease that sed, awk,
> grep and friends let you play with text.
>
> <http://stedolan.github.io/jq/>

You can seamlessly call jq script (like regular expression) and process
plain python data structure.

For your information, <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/jq> is a also jq
bindings but different and incompatible with pyjq.

Example
-------

```python
>>> data = dict(
...     parameters= [
...         dict(name="PKG_TAG_NAME", value="trunk"),
...         dict(name="GIT_COMMIT", value="master"),
...         dict(name="TRIGGERED_JOB", value="trunk-buildall")
...     ],
...     id="2013-12-27_00-09-37",
...     changeSet=dict(items=[], kind="git"),
... )
>>> import pyjq
>>> pyjq.first('.parameters[] | {"param_name": .name, "param_type":.type}', data)
{'param_type': None, 'param_name': 'PKG_TAG_NAME'}
```

Install
-------

It requires build tools such as make, automake, libtool, etc...

You can install from PyPI by usual way.

    pip install pyjq

API
---

For jq script, [see its manual](http://stedolan.github.io/jq/manual/).

Only four APIs are provided:

- `all`
- `first`
- `one`
- `compile`

`all` transforms a value by JSON script and returns all results as a list.

```python
>>> value = {"user":"stedolan","titles":["JQ Primer", "More JQ"]}
>>> pyjq.all('{user, title: .titles[]}', value)
[{'user': 'stedolan', 'title': 'JQ Primer'}, {'user': 'stedolan', 'title': 'More JQ'}]
```

`all` takes an optional argument `vars`.
`vars` is a dictonary of predefined variables for `script`.
The values in `vars` are avaiable in the `script` as a `$key`.
That is, `vars` works like `--arg` option and `--argjson` option of jq command.
```python
>>> pyjq.all('{user, title: .titles[]} | select(.title == $title)', value, vars={"title": "More JQ"})
[{'user': 'stedolan', 'title': 'More JQ'}]
```

`all` takes an optional argument `url`.
If `url` is given, the subject of transformation is got from the `url`.

```python
>> pyjq.all(".[] | .login", url="https://api.github.com/repos/stedolan/jq/contributors") # get all contributors of jq
['nicowilliams', 'stedolan', 'dtolnay', ... ]
```

Additionally, `all` takes an optional argument `opener`.
The default `opener` will simply download contents by `urllib.request.urlopen` and decode by `json.decode`.
However, you can customize this behavior using custom `opener`.

`first` is almost some to `all` but it `first` returns the first result of transformation.

```python
>>> value = {"user":"stedolan","titles":["JQ Primer", "More JQ"]}
>>> pyjq.all('{user, title: .titles[]}', value)
[{'user': 'stedolan', 'title': 'JQ Primer'}, {'user': 'stedolan', 'title': 'More JQ'}]
```

`first` returns `default` when there are no results.

```python
>>> value = {"user":"stedolan","titles":["JQ Primer", "More JQ"]}
>>> pyjq.first('.titles[] | select(test("e"))', value) # The first title which is contains "e"
'JQ Primer'
```

`first` returns the first result of transformation. It returns `default` when there are no results.

```python
>>> value = {"user":"stedolan","titles":["JQ Primer", "More JQ"]}
>>> pyjq.first('.titles[] | select(test("T"))', value, "Third JS") # The first title which is contains "T"
'Third JS'
```

`one` do also returns the first result of transformation but raise Exception if there are no results.

```python
>>> value = {"user":"stedolan","titles":["JQ Primer", "More JQ"]}
>>> pyjq.one('.titles[] | select(test("T"))', value)
IndexError: Result of jq is empty
```

Limitation
----------

jq is a JSON Processor. Therefore pyjq is able to process only
"JSON compatible" data (object made only from str, int, float, list, dict).

Q&A
---

### How can I process json string got from API by pyjq?

You should apply `json.loads` in the standard library before pass to pyjq.

Development
-----------

## Pipenv

This project uses [Pipenv](https://docs.pipenv.org/en/latest/) to manage dependencies.

Please install development tools with folloing command:

```python
pipenv install --dev -e
```

## We DO commit `_pyjq.c`

When you edit `_pyjq.pyx`, you need to run `pipenv run cython _pyjq.pyx` before to run `pipenv run python setup.py develop`.
It is because `setup.py` in this project does not compile .pyx to .c.

Of course, we can use `Cython.Build.cythonize` in setup.py to automatically compile .pyx to .c .
But, it cause bootstrap problem in ``pip install``.

So, we DO commit both of `_pyjq.pyx` and `_pyjq.c`.
