keyboardan 5fd93ce40f Since is ambiguity between tilde.club or Tilde.club, opt for
Tilde.club.

The exceptions is when refering to tilde.club as a directory, or as a
host, or when refering to the tilde.club server.

The goal is to always refer to the Tilde.club community with a capital
T.

Using JSON in Tilde.club tutorials

JSON is the "Javascript Object Notation", basically a file format for data that's suitable for easy processing by most modern web-based tools.

Several Tilde.club programs expose APIs essentially by spitting out JSON as their output, including e.g. the list of recently updated home pages at

http://tilde.club/~delfuego/tilde.24h.json

If you're looking to parse JSON from the command line with a minimum of code, the jq program may be your thing. jq is a filter that takes JSON on standard input and produces JSON on standard output. Along the way in the middle you can do various standard sorts of file munging on a field by field basis.

Documentation for jq is in its manual.
