Extracting data from JSON using bash

Question

I have this input

[{"email":"etu@etu"},{"email":"hg"},{"email":"ismail"}]

and I want to extract only the value on the email using bash.

The goal is that you add some code of your own to your question to show at least the research effort you made to solve this yourself. — Cyrus, Mar 04 '18 at 15:15

Simply with jq:

echo '[{"email":"etu@etu"},{"email":"hg"},{"email":"ismail"}]' | jq -r '.[].email'

The output:

etu@etu
hg
ismail

I recommend you use some unix tool for this and invoke it in your bash process.

You probably want to investigate this one and you'll be probably good to go.

A software recommendation alone is not a very good answer for Stack Overflow. Show how it applies to the OP's problem. – tripleee Mar 05 '18 at 03:23
