PBS 164 of X – jq: Working with Lookup Tables


Listen Later

In our previous episode of Programming By Stealth, Bart Busschots taught us how to create lookup tables with jq from JSON data using the `from_entries` command. Just when we have that conquered, this time he teaches us how to do the exact opposite – disassemble lookup tables. I think this was a really fun lesson because taking data apart, reassembling it the way you want and then putting it back together again is a great way to really understand what we're doing with jq. I got much more comfortable as I started to recognize the patterns in what Bart was doing. We also get to play with a new data set, the Have I Been Pwned data gathered by Troy Hunt.

If you're a data nerd, and really who amongst us isn't, you'll love this episode too.

You can find Bart's fabulous tutorial shownotes at pbs.bartificer.net.
