jq previously only allowed passing the inline script before -- (as if
they were options) even though one would expect the inline script to be
a positional argument.
Since jq previously also refused to run with a usage error if the script
was passed after -- (It was not assuming . as script as it does when
no arguments are passed), and positional arguments are allowed before --
and even before other options, it should not be a breaking change to
change that weird behaviour, and allow the script to appear after --.
It also simplifies the option parsing code a bunch.
Fixes #2918
This patch removes the weird behaviour of jv_invalid_with_msg(jv_null())
that returns jv_invalid() (i.e. empty), instead of a boxed jv_null().
The previous behaviour of null|error was obviously unintentional, and
allowing is jv_invalid_with_msg() to return values on which you can't
call jv_invalid_get_msg() is only error prone.
* Bump up Bootstrap to v5.3.1, Bootstrap Icon to v1.10.5.
* Use autoComplete.js to drop dependency on jQuery and typeahead.js.
* Support dark mode.
* New svg logo and icon with responsive color mode support.
* Normalize section ids to lower kebab-case for easiness of linking.
* Use relative paths for links for local development (--root /output).
* Various markup cleanups and accessibility improvements.
The option naming --nul-output was confusing, especially when we have a
similar option for input stream in the future (--nul-input vs --null-input).
Based on the observation of other command line tools, we rename the option
to --raw-output0. We also drop the short option -0 to avoid confusion on
introducing the NUL-delimited input option.
Unlike the other command line tools outputting file names with NUL delimiter,
jq deals with JSON, and its strings may contain NUL character. To protect
users from the risk of injection attacks, we abort the program and print an
error message before outputting strings including NUL character. Closes #2683.
- Add error/0 and mentions null input behavior (close #2231)
- Explain value iterator suffix syntax .foo[] (close #1047)
- Mention array slicing is also zero-based (close #2094)
- Add examples of input and inputs filters (close #2216, close #2470)
- Improve sort_by about multiple values (close #2103, close #2467, close #2474)
- Improve foreach section and simplify examples (close #1148, close #2169)
- Fix recurse/1 document on how it is identical using recurse/2 (close #2036, close #2412)
- Add non-string examples of index/1, rindex/1 (close #1422)
- Simplify the example of truncate_stream/1 (close #1736)
Mostly clarifications w.r.t. numbers.
The anomalous behavior of leading minus signs is documented, with an explicit notice that this will probably change.
Only examples defined in the "examples" field are generated, if they are
defined in "example", they are just ignored.
Also fix a bunch of incorrect tests.
The primary purpose of this commit is to rectify most problems with
`gsub` (and also `sub` with the `g` option), in particular fix #1425 ('\b'),
fix #2354 (lookahead), and fix #2532 (regex == `"^(?!cd ).*$|^cd "`).
This commit also partly resolves #2148 and resolves #1206 in that
`gsub` no longer loops infinitely; however, because the new `gsub`
depends critically on `match/2`, the behavior when regex == `""` is
sometimes non-standard.
The documentation has been updated to reflect the fact that `sub`
and `gsub` are intended to be regular in the second argument.
Also, `_nwise/1` has been tweaked to take advantage of TCO.
