Global format options

Currently the only global option is force and is used to ignore some format assertion errors. It can be used as a decode option or as a CLI -o option:

fq -d mp4 -o force=true file.mp4
fq -d raw 'mp4({force: true})' file.mp4

Format details

aac_frame

Options

Name Default Description
object_type 1 Audio object type

Examples

Decode file using aac_frame options

$ fq -d aac_frame -o object_type=1 . file

Decode value as aac_frame

... | aac_frame({object_type:1})

asn1_ber

Supports decoding BER, CER and DER (X.690).

  • Currently no extra validation is done for CER and DER.
  • Does not support specifying a schema.
  • Supports torepr but without schema all sequences and sets will be arrays.

Can be used to decode certificates etc

$ fq -d raw 'frompem | asn1_ber | d' cert.pem

Can decode nested values

$ fq -d asn1_ber '.constructed[1].value | asn1_ber' file.ber

Manual schema

$ fq -d asn1_ber 'torepr as $r | ["version", "modulus", "private_exponent", "private_exponen", "prime1", "prime2", "exponent1", "exponent2", "coefficient"] | with_entries({key: .value, value: $r[.key]})' pkcs1.der

Examples

Decode file using avc_au options

$ fq -d avc_au -o length_size=4 . file

Decode value as avc_au

... | avc_au({length_size:4})

avro_ocf

Supports reading Avro Object Container Format (OCF) files based on the 1.11.0 specification.

Capable of handling null, deflate, and snappy codecs for data compression.

Limitations:

  • Schema does not support self-referential types, only built-in types.
  • Decimal logical types are not supported for decoding, will just be treated as their primitive type

Timestamps

Timestamps in Apple Binary Property Lists are encoded as Cocoa Core Data timestamps, where the raw value is the floating point number of seconds since January 1, 2001. By default, fq will render the raw floating point value. In order to get the raw value or string description, use the todescription function, you can use the tovalue and todescription functions:

$ fq 'torepr.SomeTimeStamp | tovalue' Info.plist
685135328

$ fq 'torepr.SomeTimeStamp | todescription' Info.plist
"2022-09-17T19:22:08Z"

Get JSON representation

$ fq torepr com.apple.UIAutomation.plist
{
  "UIAutomationEnabled": true
}

HTML is decoded in HTML5 mode and will always include <html>, <body> and <head> element.

See xml format for more examples and how to preserve element order and how to encode to xml.

There is no tohtml function, see toxml instead.

{
  "html": {
    "body": {
      "a": {
        "#text": "text",
        "@href": "url"
      }
    },
    "head": ""
  }
}

xml

Options

Name Default Description
array false Decode as nested arrays
attribute_prefix @ Prefix for attribute keys
seq false Use seq attribute to preserve element order

Examples

Decode file using xml options

$ fq -d xml -o array=false -o attribute_prefix="@" -o seq=false . file

Decode value as xml

... | xml({array:false,attribute_prefix:"@",seq:false})

XML can be decoded and encoded into jq values in two ways, elements as object or array. Which variant to use depends a bit what you want to do. The object variant might be easier to query for a specific value but array might be easier to use to generate xml or to query after all elements of some kind etc.

Encoding is done using the toxml function and it will figure what variant that is used based on the input value. Is has two optional options indent and attribute_prefix.

Elements as object

Element can have different shapes depending on body text, attributes and children:

  • <a key="value">text</a> is {"a":{"#text":"text","@key":"value"}}, has text (#text) and attributes (@key)
  • <a>text</a> is {"a":"text"}
  • <a><b>text</b></a> is {"a":{"b":"text"}} one child with only text and no attributes
  • <a><b/><b>text</b></a> is {"a":{"b":["","text"]}} two children with same name end up in an array
  • <a><b/><b key="value">text</b></a> is {"a":{"b":["",{"#text":"text","@key":"value"}]}}

If there is #seq attribute it encodes the child element order. Use -o seq=true to include sequence number when decoding, otherwise order might be lost.

# decode as object is the default
$ echo '<a><b/><b>bbb</b><c attr="value">ccc</c></a>' | fq -d xml -o seq=true
{
  "a": {
    "b": [
      {
        "#seq": 0
      },
      {
        "#seq": 1,
        "#text": "bbb"
      }
    ],
    "c": {
      "#seq": 2,
      "#text": "ccc",
      "@attr": "value"
    }
  }
}

# access text of the <c> element
$ echo '<a><b/><b>bbb</b><c attr="value">ccc</c></a>' | fq '.a.c["#text"]'
"ccc"

# decode to object and encode to xml
$ echo '<a><b/><b>bbb</b><c attr="value">ccc</c></a>' | fq -r -d xml -o seq=true 'toxml({indent:2})'
<a>
  <b></b>
  <b>bbb</b>
  <c attr="value">ccc</c>
</a>

Elements as array

Elements are arrays of the shape ["#text": "body text", "attr_name", {key: "attr value"}|null, [<child element>, ...]].

# decode as array
$ echo '<a><b/><b>bbb</b><c attr="value">ccc</c></a>' | fq -d xml -o array=true
[
  "a",
  null,
  [
    [
      "b",
      null,
      []
    ],
    [
      "b",
      {
        "#text": "bbb"
      },
      []
    ],
    [
      "c",
      {
        "#text": "ccc",
        "attr": "value"
      },
      []
    ]
  ]
]

# decode to array and encode to xml
$ echo '<a><b/><b>bbb</b><c attr="value">ccc</c></a>' | fq -r -d xml -o array=true -o seq=true 'toxml({indent:2})'
<a>
  <b></b>
  <b>bbb</b>
  <c attr="value">ccc</c>
</a>

# access text of the <c> element, the object variant above is probably easier to use
$ echo '<a><b/><b>bbb</b><c attr="value">ccc</c></a>' | fq -o array=true '.[2][2][1]["#text"]'
"ccc"
