# jsonsearch
Very simple tool to search by string or number value and get the JSON key from it.

## Usage
`jsonsearch [-all] [-type=(string|number)] <match> [<file>|-]`

- `-all` will search for all occurrences
- `-type` will set the type to search for; defaults to string
- `<match>` is the value to match against
- `<file>|-` is either a relative file path or a dash, indicating to read from STDIN.

```sh
# Search for the first occurrence of 'foo Bar'.
jsonsearch "foo Bar" myfile.json

# Search for all occurrences of 'foo Bar'.
jsonsearch -all "foo Bar" myfile.json

# Search using STDIN
cat myfile.json | jsonsearch "foo Bar"
# or
cat myfile.json | jsonsearch "foo Bar" -

# Search a number
jsonsearch -type=number 3.141518 myfile.json
```
