sqlite2json

This script dumps all* the tables in an sqlite database as json.

Usage

sqlite2json sqlitefile.db [--exclude=TABLE]

To dump the sqlite file where iMessages are stored:

sqlite2json ~/Library/Messages/chat.db

Here is a more useful version of the above example:

sqlite2json ~/Library/Messages/chat.db | jq -r .message[].text | grep -i loan

*The script doesn't dump the contents of of the sqlite_master table
