I want to convert JSON string into an array in bash. The JSON string is passed to the bash script as an argument (it doesn't exist in a file).
Is there a way of achieving it without using some temp files?
Similarly to this:
script.sh
#! /bin/bash
json_data='{"key":"value"}'
jq '.key' $json_data
jq: error: Could not open file {key:value}: No such file or directory
I would suggest using a bash here string. e.g.
jq '.key' <<< "$json_data"
