jless

I also like jless: https://github.com/PaulJuliusMartinez/jless For when you aren't manipulating or querying json and just want a nice UI for exploring it.

This looks great! looks very close to jless https://github.com/PaulJuliusMartinez/jless

I've asked this previously: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22849208 But a few years have past and want to see what's emerged since. Although can be new to you vs. released in 2021 or 2022 necessarily. Things I've come across in the meantime: * mock AWS services https://github.com/spulec/moto * query cloud services https://github.com/turbot/steampipe * munge CSV https://github.com/johnkerl/miller https://github.com/BurntSushi/xsv * page json https://github.com/PaulJuliusMartinez/jless * text to tree structure [I use this as a hack to version control my music library] https://github.com/birchb1024/frangipanni

You should just be able to download this in your WSL via curl from here: https://github.com/PaulJuliusMartinez/jless/releases curl -SsL https://github.com/PaulJuliusMartinez/jless/releases/download/v0.8.0/jless-v0.8.0-… > jless.zip Then just unzip and you should be good. Also this is awesome! I was trying to build a filter for jq and was wishing this exact thing existed.

In addition to jq (already mentioned) here are some other useful CLI tools for dealing with JSON data. Descriptions are directly from GitHub. Note: dsq also has a companion GUI app called DataStation[0] if you're looking for that. fx: Command-line JSON processing tool - https://github.com/antonmedv/fx dasel: JSON, YAML, TOML, XML, and CSV query and modification tool - https://github.com/TomWright/dasel dsq: CLI tool for running SQL queries against JSON, CSV, Excel, Parquet, and more - https://github.com/multiprocessio/dsq gron: Make JSON greppable - https://github.com/tomnomnom/gron jello: Filter JSON and JSON Lines data with Python syntax - https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jello jless: Command-line pager for JSON data - https://github.com/PaulJuliusMartinez/jless jid: Json incremental digger - https://github.com/simeji/jid jql: JSON que

Guilty [1]. But it's really hard to handle both light and dark color themes! On a dark terminal you're probably more likely to use the "Bright" variants when using the default 16 color palette, but then you'll have less contrast in a light theme. Some color schemes intentionally invert the "bright" colors and makes them darker for a light colored scheme. This is what Gruvbox [2] does, but most other palettes don't. I also have an issue with Solarized which makes some of the Bright colors almost exactly the same as the foreground or background, which can make text printed in certain colors seem invisible. I've used ANSI codes to invert colors (which works pretty well for highlighting), and dim colors, but those can't solve everything.

Sorry! Someone already filed an issue about this [1], but I haven't had time to investigate exactly what is appropriate to put there. I don't use Linux, nor have I ever released and distributed open-source software before, so I'm just kinda guessing here -- other people have added the project to various package managers, not me. Installing via Linux Homebrew is simply listed as an option because it's available as a Homebrew formula. And the option to install via cargo is also noted.
