  "github_readme_excerpt": "# json-table [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/micha/json-table.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/micha/json-table)\n\n**Jt** reads UTF-8 encoded JSON forms from `stdin` and writes tab separated\nvalues (or CSV) to `stdout`. A simple stack-based programming language is used\nto extract values from the JSON input for printing.\n\n## INSTALL\n\nLinux users can install prebuilt binaries from the release tarball:\n\n```\nsudo bash -c \"cd /usr/local \u0026\u0026 wget -O - https://github.com/micha/json-table/raw/master/jt.tar.gz | tar xzvf -\"\n```\n\nmacOS users can install the latest release using [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/):\n\n```\nbrew install json-table\n```\n\nOtherwise, build from source:\n\n```\nmake \u0026\u0026 make test \u0026\u0026 sudo make install\n```\n\n\u003e **NOTE:** Previous versions installed the **jt** manual in the `$PREFIX/man/`\n\u003e directory, which was incorrect. They are now installed into `$PREFIX/share/man/`.\n\u003e If you have installed **jt** previously you will probably want to delete those\n\u003e old man pages from the `$PREFIX/man/` directory if you install a newer version.\n\n## OVERVIEW\n\nExtracting information from deeply nested JSON data is difficult and unreliable\nwith tools like **sed** and **awk**, and tools that are specially designed for\nmanipulating JSON are cumbersome to use in the shell because they either return\ntheir results as JSON or introduce a new turing complete scripting language\nthat needs to be quoted and constructed via string interpolation.\n\n**Jt** provides only what is needed to extract data from nested JSON data\nstructures and organize the data into a table. Tools like **cut**, **paste**,\n**join**, **sort**, **uniq**, etc. can be used to efficiently reduce the\ntabular data to produce the final result.\n\n#### Features\n\n* **Self contained** \u0026mdash; statically linked, has no build or runtime dependencies.\n* **Fast, small memory footprint** \u0026mdash; efficiently process large JSON input.\n* **Correct** \u0026mdash; parser does not accept invalid JSON (see tests for details).\n\n#### Exampl",
