Fx – Terminal JSON Viewer
This fx rewrite is very exciting. I'll have to try it. I thought of fx as a wrapper around jq, that allowed quick iteration over building jq scripts. Sort of an Ultimate Plumber [1] but only for jq. It looks like it is now more like a JavaScript processor plus an interactive viewer.
Someone mention Visidata[2]? VisiData is also a TUI that is great on tabular data, and it can work with json. If your JSON is mostly tabular in nature, Visidata does a great job at showing that data and allowing you to explore it. A lot of json I deal with is tabular-like data. There is a great tutorial [3], that can help you get your bearings with Visidata. Once you understand those basics you might want to look at this thread [4] for what commands you can use with json.
[1] Ultimate Plumber: https://github.com/akavel/up
- Up: Plumber is a tool for writing Linux pipes with instant live preview
-
Show HN: LineSelect, shell utility to interactively select lines in a pipeline
Ultimate plumber can do this.

`jqp`, a TUI playground for `jq`
Been using up for years but this looks nice too
-
An interactive wrapper around `jq`
Fun. But I can achieve the same result (I think) with ultimate plumber and regular jq, but without being restricted just to jq. Feel free to correct me.
-
What are some useful cli tools that arent popular?
Up - The Ultimate Plumber makes the best pipes !
-
A list of new(ish) command line tools – Julia Evans
As an alternative allowing the use of any shell command/pipeline on the results interactively, see also: https://github.com/akavel/up

Is there any command-line application that you wish existed but doesn't (or isn't as good as you wished)?

jc: Converts the output of popular command-line tools to JSON
> In FreeBSD, this problem was solved with libxo[0]:
Libxo happens to be in the base system, but it is generally available:

* https://libxo.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
- Libxo: The Easy Way to Generate Text, XML, JSON, and HTML Output
-
Getting work done with PowerShell on Linux
Or make it flexible:
> libxo - A Library for Generating Text, XML, JSON, and HTML Output
* https://github.com/Juniper/libxo/
* https://wiki.freebsd.org/LibXo
Want structure? Ask for JSON or XML and parse. Otherwise it's the regular text output.

-
Jc – JSONifies the output of many CLI tools
Can you trust it? Cli tool output is not exactly stable. I thought that's why libxo exists?

-
Curl gets a --json flag
Please consider https://github.com/Juniper/libxo or something even better than that.
-
You shouldn't parse the output of ls(1)
That would look a lot like FreeBSD. Many of the FreeBSD userland tools are set up to use the excellent libxo (https://github.com/Juniper/libxo) to allow the user's choice of how things are output.
