Parsing JSON fields

[pecigonzalo]

Hello! im coming from awslogs and really interested in this tool, but I would like to know if there is a way to prase fields from JSON, as our events are stored in JSON format.

Thanks!

Hello @pecigonzalo ! What do you have in mind? I have some JSON parsing bits from a different project. Curious how you might want that implemented.

@mmcquillan basically using json.marshall or similar to get JSON to print correctly. I have a quick patch that does it for this repo, but i ended up forking cwlogs and adding some features I need there.

var result map[string]interface{}
err := json.Unmarshal([]byte(message), &result)

example code

Thanks! I guess I was wondering what you envisioned in terms of how the cli would let you specify json and then specify the formatting you'd like to express?
