Read JSON variable in Shell Script
How can I read a JSON variable in shell script ( to be noted "JSON variable " and not JSON File)?
I have tried something like,
temp={"name":"Sipdy","time":"17:09 1985","place":"CA"}
jq '.time' $temp
and also tried
temp={"name":"Sipdy","time":"17:09 1985","place":"CA"}
jq '.time' $temp
but both the above commands expect a JSON file name in place of "$temp".
json shell

You need to provide the JSON text as jq's standard input:
$ temp='{"name":"Sipdy","time":"17:09 1985","place":"CA"}'
$ echo $temp | jq .time
"17:09 1985"
$ jq .time <<< $temp
"17:09 1985"
(The second form is a here string.)
