jqaas

jq as a service. Inspired by a tweet.

usage

For when you have to do some JSON mangling and you want a web server to do it for you. Supports both request input (using raw request body), and a URL fetch(via a url request param).

raw request

curl -d '{"hello": [1,2,3]}'  -H "JQ-Filter: .hello" https://jqaas.captnemo.in/ -i
HTTP/2 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json

[1,2,3]

using a remote resource

curl "https://jqaas.captnemo.in/?url=https://jsonblob.com/api/1048224244483506176" -H "JQ-Filter: .hello" -i

HTTP/2 200
content-type: application/json

[1,2,3]

multiple-items

Just like jq, this also supports multi-line inputs:

curl --request POST \
  --url https://jqaas.captnemo.in/ \
  --header 'jq-filter: .hello' \
  --data '{ "hello": [1,2,3]}
{"hello": [4,5,6]}'

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/x-ndjson

[1,2,3]
[4,5,6]

The Content-Type will be set to application/x-ndjson in such cases.
