With the --json flag, how can I request that the "lines" section of the JSON is omitted?

I'm searching very large binary files with sparse newlines, so some of the data that comes into the "lines" section is very very large. Is there a way I can request that the "lines" section is omitted from the JSON response? |

Nope. You'll have to filter it out yourself. I'm not keen on adding different incompatible subsets of the JSON format. I note that this generally shouldn't change the memory requirements. ripgrep already requires that each line, in full, is put on the heap. It does mean some extra deserialization/serialization work, but that should hopefully be pretty fast. And the additional memory requirements should be minimal if you do it one JSON line at a time. |
