github actions | parse json

I have a question that I am seeking to solve with github modul/bash command.

Let say I have this json:

{
"containers": [
    {
        "name": "container1",
        "image": "image1",
        "cpu": 0
    },
    {
        "name": "container2",
        "image": "image2",
        "cpu": 0
    }
] 

}

and I want to extract the value of the image of the first container. I couldn't find a proper github modul that handles encapsulation in json. Does anyone knows something relevant/sh command? I will like to avoid adding an external sctipt to handle it.

thank you!
