I'm compiling my own version of the linux kernel and I was wondering if there is any way to do parse a local XML or JSON file.

Thanks

Why are you doing this in the kernel? Can't you do this in an initialization script? – Renan Aug 15 '12 at 16:01

jsawk will probably do what you need: https://github.com/micha/jsawk

Edit: However I found jshon to work much better. Here is an example: curl 'http://twitter.com/users/username.json' | jshon -e "location" Outputs: "new hampshire"

This is great! I was wondering if when the kernel fully loads it could print the parsed text. Could it do that? – Coder404 Aug 15 '12 at 16:02
If you use just run jshon without any options or switches, it "pretty prints" the entire json structure passed to jshon. – Tim Aug 15 '12 at 17:31
great! Thanks for your answer! – Coder404 Aug 15 '12 at 19:51
