Simple Json parser for Bash

That code work at least on Bash 3.2.57 and above.
This is a pure Bash implementation with no dependencies.

ATTENTION:

Maybe there are some unimplemented important things. If anyone need anything from it, please contact to me, and i will try to do it.

ATTENTION: It's works slowly with big JSON documents.

Please, try it:

git clone https://github.com/lirik90/bashJsonParser.git
bash bashJsonParser/example.sh

Or something like that:

source <(curl -s -L -o- https://github.com/lirik90/bashJsonParser/raw/master/jsonParser.sh)
JSON='{"error": "Error message text"}'
JSON=$(minifyJson "$JSON")
echo "Message is: $(parseJson "$JSON" error)"

For integrate to your project:

1. Copy code from jsonParser.sh file
2. Get JSON from something place

read -d '' JSON << EOF
[{
  "name": "Leanne Graham",
  "company": {
    "name": "Romaguera-Crona",
  }
}]
EOF

3. If your JSON is 'pretty' formatted wrap it with minify function like bellow:

JSON=$(minifyJson "$JSON")

4. Choose field witch you want to parse

company=$(parseJson "$JSON" 0 company name)
echo "Company is: $company"
