Using ANSIBLE: I am getting the json response from url and priting the response but unable to print the particular keys/values. (please see the json response) in my script i would pass Service, so i want to print only particular version of a service under tags only. for e.g i would pass abc as parameter to ansible playbook then i want to print version under that Tags. i tried json query filter but unable to get this. 

- name: Get url response
  uri:
    url: http://localhost:8500/myurl...
    return_content: yes
  register: json_response

- name: print json_response
  debug:
    var: json_response

- name: print the response
  set_fact:
    msg: "{{ json_response | from_json| json_query('Tags['build=*')}}"

my json response would be like this.

"json": {
        "abc": {
            "Tags": [
                "version=3.5"
            ]
        }, 
        "xyz": {
            "Tags": [
                "version=4.6.2" 
            ]
        }, 
        "asd": {
            "Tags": [
                "version=9.1.2" 
            ]
        }
}

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    The only thing about ansible here is that you need to apply `json_query` filter to `json_response.json`. As for JMESPath expression, please, spend some time at http://jmespath.org/ to figure out the expression itself. – Konstantin Suvorov Jun 17 '17 at 07:27
