mwendler/jq repository overview

⁠A minimal jq⁠ setup

based on alpine⁠. The complete image is just over 10 MB big ... ()

Run a container from this image like:

docker run -i --rm mwendler/jq

which should display the installed jq version:

jq - commandline JSON processor [version 1.5]
Usage: /usr/local/bin/jq [options] <jq filter> [file...]

  alias jq='docker run -i --rm mwendler/jq'

• use it from the command line, e.g.:

curl 'https://api.github.com/repos/m-wendler/dockerfiles/commits' | jq -C .[0]

Have fun!
