up VS nvim-jqx

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.

Ultimate plumber can do this.

Been using up for years but this looks nice too

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.

Up - The Ultimate Plumber makes the best pipes !

As an alternative allowing the use of any shell command/pipeline on the results interactively, see also: https://github.com/akavel/up

Would https://github.com/akavel/up solve your problem?

nvim-jqx is your neovim interface to json and yaml files1: in the last release I have fixed a few bugs introduced by the latest changes in `yq` grammar and have added treesitter syntax highlight to the floating buffer (invoked when querying the json or yaml keys, why I had not done it before already is beyond my memory :p):

browse json files content (nvim-jqx)

As far as I know there is no other plugin at the moment that interfaces neovim with json files, and more often than not we see questions here where people suggest to reformat json files via python or some other :%!. Well, with jqx you have it all in one place, so you may find it useful: have a look at the repository and feel free to open up issues with improvements or suggestions!

Have you tried nvim-jqx?

By the way, nvim-jqx can come to your rescue.

...or you can use nvim-jqx (neovim only though) :p

P. S. If you are using neovim nvim-jqx is a jq wrapper that populates entries in the quickfix window. Spoiler alert: I am the author (so in this case you can shoot the messenger :p)!

Potentially related: nvim-jqx wraps around yq to populate the quickfix window with yaml keys, moreover supporting (limited) queries with autocompletion.
