How to output raw data from JQ

To output raw data from JQ, you can use the -r option. This is particularly useful when you want to extract and display data without quotes or escape characters.

For example, given the following JSON input:

{
  "code": "import datetime\nnow = datetime.datetime.now()"
}

You can use the command:

jq -r '.code' input.json

This will output:

import datetime
now = datetime.datetime.now()
