Using the wonderful tool "jaq" to perform "jq-like" operatoins in a Cargo.lock file

README.md

do youself a solid and replace jq with jaq

WHY?

Because jaq functions the same as jq while supporting the same feature set for yaml, toml and many other serialization formats which makes it awesome.

And because jaq's author is a badass computer scientist.

declare -g jq_location=$(which jq)
brew uninstall jq
brew install jaq
[ -n "${jq_location}" ] && ln -s $(which jaq) "${jq_location}"

jaq-cargo-lock.sh
cat Cargo.lock \
| jaq -r --from toml '.package[] |
.name as $name |
select(.dependencies != null) |
.dependencies[] |
{package:$name, depends_on:.}' | jaq -s
