Transforming, sorting, and grouping JSON documents in the command-line - jq tutorial

In this video, I show you how to use the jq command-line to parse and transform a JSON response to the desired format. I use openlibrary.org Search API to get a complex JSON document (~3600 lines) using curl command for further parsing using jq. In the first step, we extract three fields for each document (title, author, publishing year) and then we continue transforming the JSON - we sort it, we limit the number of elements, and last but not least, we group elements by the author name.
This video is the first part of the new series where we are going to learn how to use jq to solve some practical and real-life problems. I hope you enjoy it! 😀
