Decoding JWT using jq

JWT token can be decoded using jq:

jwt-decode () {
        jq -R 'split(".") |.[0:2] | map(@base64d) | map(fromjson)' <<< $1
}

• --raw-input/-R = don't parse input as json instead pass as string
• map(x), map_values(x) For any filter x, map(x) will run that filter for each element of the input array, and return the outputs in a new array.
• @base64d = base64 decode
• Convert to/from JSON The tojson and fromjson builtins dump values as JSON texts or parse JSON texts into values, respectively.

Print fields as string

 $ docker image inspect miniflux/miniflux | jq '.[] | "\(.Os)\/\(.Architecture)"'
"linux/arm64"

• has string in quotes
• escape special chars
