Ever wanted to quickly find, extract or modify data coming from some JSON documents on the command line? JQ is the tool you’re looking for. The three previous parts of this JQ and OpenAPI Series, taught us to extract data from JSON (OpenAPI) files and modify them using many filters, creating modules and using command line arguments.

In the previous part of this JQ and OpenAPI Series, we learned to invoke JQ and how to extract data from JSON documents using some of its many filters. Now we will discover how to build flexible and easily reusable JQ filters by creating functions and modules and also using command line arguments.
