将 JSON 导出到环境变量

Question

If I have a JSON like this,

{
    "hello1": "world1",
    "testk": "testv"
}

And I want to export each of these key-value pairs as environment variables, how to do it via shell script? So for example, when I write on the terminal, echo $hello1 , world1 should be printed and similarly for other key-value pairs? Note: The above JSON is present in a variable called $values and not in a file.

I know it will be done via jq and written a shell script for this, but it doesn't work.

for row in $(echo "${values}" | jq -r '.[]'); do
    -jq() {
        echo ${row} | jq -r ${1}
    }
    echo $(_jq '.samplekey')
done

Answer 1

Borrowing from this answer which does all of the hard work of turning the JSON into key=value pairs, you could get these into the environment by looping over the jq output and export ing them:

for s in $(echo $values | jq -r "to_entries|map(\"\(.key)=\(.value|tostring)\")|.[]" ); do
    export $s
done

If the variables being loaded contain embedded whitespace, this is also reasonable, if slightly more complex:

while read -rd $'' line
do
    export "$line"
done < <(jq -r <<<"$values" \
         'to_entries|map("\(.key)=\(.value)\u0000")[]')

Answer 2

Using command substitution $() :

# $(jq -r 'keys[] as $k | "export \($k)=\(.[$k])"' file.json)
# echo $testk
testv

Edit : Responding to this comment

You should do

$( echo "$values" | jq -r 'keys[] as $k | "export \($k)=\(.[$k])"' )

Just mind the double quotes around $values

^{Note: Couldn't confirm if there is security implication to this approach, that is if the user could manipulate the json to wreak havoc.}

Answer 3

Another way, without using jq , is to parse the json with grep & sed :

for keyval in $(grep -E '": [^\{]' my.json | sed -e 's/: /=/' -e "s/\(\,\)$//"); do
    echo "export $keyval"
    eval export $keyval
done

Explanation:

• First, grep will filter all "key" : value pairs (value can be "string" , number , or boolean ).
• Then, sed will replace : with = , and remove trailing , .
• Lastly, exporting the "key"=value with eval

Here's an output example, exporting json keys, from an AWS record-set:

export "Name"="\\052.apps.nmanos-cluster-a.devcluster.openshift.com."

export "Type"="A"

export "HostedZoneId"="Z67SXBLZRQ7X7T"

export "DNSName"="a24070461d50270e-1391692.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com."

export "EvaluateTargetHealth"=false

None of the existing answers preserve whitespace in the values in a POSIX shell. To do that, try:

eval $(echo "$values" | jq -r 'to_entries|map("\"\(.key)=\(.value|tostring)\"")|.[]' )

Example:

$ cat <<'EOJSON' > foo.json
{
 "foo_1": "bar 1",
 "foo_2": "bar 2"
}
EOJSON

$ cat <<'EOSH' > foo.sh
values="`cat foo.json`"
eval export $(echo "$values" | jq -r 'to_entries|map("\"\(.key)=\(.value|tostring)\"")|.[]' )
export
echo "foo_2: $foo_2"
EOSH

$ env -i sh foo.sh
export PWD='/home/vagrant'
export foo_1='bar 1'
export foo_2='bar 2'
foo_2: bar 2

Pros:

• no need for Bash
• preserves whitespace in values
• no loops

Cons:

• uses eval , which I'm pretty sure is not "safe"

Answer 5

The approach illustrated by the following shell script avoids most (but not all) problems with special characters:

#!/bin/bash

function json2keyvalue {
   cat<<EOF | jq -r 'to_entries|map("\(.key)\t\(.value|tostring)")[]'
{
    "hello1": "world1",
    "testk": "testv"
}
EOF
}

while IFS=$'\t' read -r key value
do
    export "$key"="$value"
done < <(json2keyvalue)

echo hello1="$hello1"
echo testk="$testk"

Note that the above assumes that there are no tabs in the keys themselves.

jtc解决方案：

export $(<file.json jtc -w'[:]<>a:<L>k' -qqT'"{L}={}"')

Answer 7

I've come up with a solution (here in bash):

function source_json_as_environ() {
  eval "$(jq -r '
  def replace_dot:
    . | gsub("\\."; "_");
  def trim_spaces:
    . | gsub("^[ \t]+|[ \t]+$"; "");
  to_entries|map(
    "export \(.key|trim_spaces|replace_dot)="
    + "\(.value|tostring|trim_spaces|@sh)"
    )|.[]' $@)"
}

And you can use it like this:

$ source_json_as_environ values.json
