history

Project history and usage

json2tsv is a small C command-line program from codemadness that converts JSON read from standard input into tab-separated, line-oriented output.

Project history

The project follows the codemadness style of compact Unix tools: a plain HTML manual page, a public git repository, and tarball releases with checksums. Its release index begins with version 0.1 on October 13, 2019 and reaches version 1.2 on August 5, 2024.

Adoption history

The tool is packaged in Homebrew, Alpine Linux, MacPorts, and Nix, which suggests practical adoption among users who prefer small native filters over larger JSON query languages.

How it is used

json2tsv reads JSON from stdin and prints rows containing a node name, a type byte, and a value. Its documentation emphasizes filtering the first field with existing Unix tools such as awk and grep.

Why package nerds care

For package nerds, json2tsv is the opposite of a sprawling data platform: about a few hundred lines of C, C99 plus libc, and a format intended to compose with old Unix text tools.

Timeline

  • 2019-10-13: Version 0.1 tarball appeared in the official release directory.
  • 2021-09-25: The project page recorded its last modification date.
  • 2022-09-01: Version 1.0 tarball appeared.
  • 2024-08-05: Version 1.2 tarball appeared.

Related projects

  • json2tsv belongs with jq, gron, Miller, xsv, and other tools that turn structured data into streams that are easier to process with Unix pipelines.
