how to write a script to edit a JSON file?
11,499
Here's a complete program, in JavaScript (using node.js), doing what you want :
fs = require('fs');
var m = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync('people.json').toString());
m.forEach(function(p){
p.pic = p.name.toLowerCase()+".png";
});
fs.writeFile('people.json', JSON.stringify(m));
And as a bonus (including for other answerers with other languages), here's a fixed input JSON :
[
{"name":"Paul","age":29},
{"name":"Kathy","age":101},
{"name":"Paula","age":12},
{"name":"Bruce","age":56}
]

For example I have a file called
people.json
. Its content is:[ {"name": "Paul", "age": 29, }, {"name": "Kathy", "age": 101, }, {"name": "Paula", "age": 12, }, {"name": "Bruce", "age": 56, } ]
so here I wanted to add a picture link for each person for example
[{"name":"Paul", "age" : 29, "pic" : "paul.png" }, {"name": "Kathy", "age": 101, "pic" : "kathy.png" }, {"name": "Paula", "age": 12, "pic" : "paula.png" }, {"name": "Bruce", "age": 56, "pic" : "bruce.png" } ]
How do I go about writing a script to add a
pic
key into each person and add in a person.name.lowercase + ".png" as a value?At the end of the process, the people.json will be edited and saved into the hardware and not memory.
Thank you very much.
