Bash-jq-examples

Some examples of using jq to do filtering..

raw jason:
{
  "1": [
    {
      "id": "123456789",
      "accountId": "a1-supplies-01234",
      "accountName": "a1-supplies",
      "status": "LIVE",
      "customerId": "A1 Supplies",
      "customerType": "display"
    }
  ]
}
Map will iterate through the array(s) looking for key status, and value LIVE
<json here> | jq  -c 'map(select(.[].status | contains ("LIVE")))' | jq

• Running the output through jq again puts the line breaks back in place

• contains in a search DOES honor pipes

 contains ("LIVE"|"DEAD")
