jq: JSONL ↔︎ JSON conversion

Prerequisites

  • jq — https://jqlang.github.io/jq/ — "like sed for JSON data"

    There are several options available for installing jq. I prefer to use Homebrew: brew install jq

  1. JSONL → JSON

    jq -s '.' input.jsonl > output.json

  2. JSON → JSONL

    jq -c '.[]' input.json > output.jsonl
