Search maven from the commandline using httpie and jq
Sometimes I like to know what the latest version of a library in maven central is. As I don’t like to always open a browser tab for search but almost always have a terminal window at hand, I just wrote s small script that uses httpie and jq to get the information I want (that’s all one line in the script):
#!/usr/bin/env sh http search.maven.org/solrsearch/select rows==10000 q=="$1" | jq '.response.docs[] | .
