jql

This looks quite cool! I'm not sure though why I would use this over the original jq. However, I can definitely see the value in embedding this into my own applications, to provide jq scripting inside of them. Shameless plug: As I'm not a fan of the jq syntax, I've created jql[0] as an alternative to it. It's also written in Go and presents a lispy continuation-based query language (it sounds much scarier than it really is!). This way it has much less special syntax than jq and is - at least to me - much easier to compose for common day-to-day JSON manipulation (which is the use case it has been created for; there are definitely many features of jq that aren't covered by it). It might seem dead, as it hasn't seen any commit in ages, but to me it's just finished, I still use it regularly instead of jq on my local dev machine. Check it out

Had the same experience. That's why I've written jql[0], which puts a uniform lispy spin on CLI JSON processing. I now use it almost exclusively instead of jq. Check it out if you're looking for alternatives. And by the way, you can achieve live preview with any of these CLI tools by using fzf. This is the snippet for jql for example: `echo '' | fzf --print-query --preview-window wrap --preview 'cat test.json | jql {q}'` (substitute jql for jq or anything else) P.S.: jql might seem dead, as there are no recent commits, but it's not. It's just finished. [0]: https://github.com/cube2222/jql
