history
Project history and usage
json2tsv is a small C command-line program from codemadness that converts JSON read from standard input into tab-separated, line-oriented output.
Project history
The project follows the codemadness style of compact Unix tools: a plain HTML manual page, a public git repository, and tarball releases with checksums. Its release index begins with version 0.1 on October 13, 2019 and reaches version 1.2 on August 5, 2024.
Adoption history
The tool is packaged in Homebrew, Alpine Linux, MacPorts, and Nix, which suggests practical adoption among users who prefer small native filters over larger JSON query languages.
How it is used
json2tsv reads JSON from stdin and prints rows containing a node name, a type byte, and a value. Its documentation emphasizes filtering the first field with existing Unix tools such as awk and grep.
Why package nerds care
For package nerds, json2tsv is the opposite of a sprawling data platform: about a few hundred lines of C, C99 plus libc, and a format intended to compose with old Unix text tools.
