I am running a curl command which gives me json response. Now I want to parse the response output to get the keys and corresponding values from the output or getting value for a particular key.

I need to do this through shell (preferred) or Python. If possible, through the command line.

In Python? Seriously?! First thing you'll find when you search the internet for "python json parser" is the Python documentation. Please do at least basic searching before asking questions. – peterph Mar 12 '15 at 22:29
