Parsing JSON DATA in AWS

Question

I still cannot parse JSON data in linux. I need a linux command to parse Json data to readable string.

someone told me to use underscore-cli.(https://npmjs.org/package/underscore-cli)

I install and use it, still the result is unreadable.

my data: "2005\年05\月12\日(\木) 02\時16\分"

according to this link http://json.parser.online.fr/

the result is "2005年05月12日(木) 02時16分"

Is there any other way to parse this Json data? Please help.

Answer 1

Try jq: http://stedolan.github.com/jq/

echo  '"2005\u5e7405\u670812\u65e5(\u6728) 02\u664216\u5206"' | ./jq .
"2005年05月12日(木) 02時16分"

jq takes escaped unicode and outputs it in utf-8.
