How to search within sections of a JSON File?S - json

Question

So, lets say I had a JSON File like this:
{
"content": [
{
"word": "cat",
"adjectives": [
{
"type": "textile",
"adjective": "fluffy"
},
{
"type": "visual",
"adjective": "small"
}
]
},
{
"word": "dog",
"adjectives": [
{
"type": "textile",
"adjective": "fluffy"
},
{
"type": "visual",
"adjective": "big"
}
]
},
{
"word": "chocolate",
"adjectives": [
{
"type": "visual",
"adjective": "small"
},
{
"type": "gustatory",
"adjective": "sweet"
}
]
}
]
}
Now, say I wanted to search for two words. For example, "Fluffy" and "Small." The problem with this is that both words' adjectives contain small, and so I would have to manually search for which one contains fluffy. So, how would I do this in a quicker manner?
In other words, how would I find the word(s) with both "fluffy" and "small"
EDIT: Sorry, new asker. Anything that words in a terminal is fair game. jq is a really great JSON searcher, and so this is preferred, and sorry for the confusion. I also fixed the JSON

Answer 1

A command-line solution would be to use jq:
jq -r '.content[] | select(.adjectives[].adjective == "fluffy") | .word' /pathToJsonFile.json
Output:
cat
Are you looking for something like this? Do you need a solution that uses other programming languages?
(P.S. your JSON example appears to be invalid)

Answer 2

Since jq is now fair game (this was only clarified later in the comments), here is one solution using jq.
First, fix the JSON to be actually valid:
{
"content": [
{
"word": "cat",
"adjectives": [
{
"type": "textile",
"adjective": "fluffy"
},
{
"type": "visual",
"adjective": "small"
}
]
},
{
"word": "dog",
"adjectives": [
{
"type": "textile",
"adjective": "fluffy"
},
{
"type": "visual",
"adjective": "big"
}
]
},
{
"word": "chocolate",
"adjectives": [
{
"type": "visual",
"adjective": "small"
},
{
"type": "gustatory",
"adjective": "sweet"
}
]
}
]
}
Then, the following jq filter returns an array containing the words which contain both adjectives:
.content
| map(
select(
.adjectives as $adj
| all("small","fluffy"; IN($adj[].adjective))
)
| .word
)
If a non-array output is required, and only one word per line, use .[] instead of map (either after content or as a final filter), e.g.:
jq -r '.content[]
| select(
.adjectives as $adj
| all("small","fluffy"; IN($adj[].adjective))
)
| .word'
