  • To a Man with `Jq`, Everything Looks Like JSON
    7 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 8 Dec 2023
    Yeap i've talked to itchyny quite a lot about various changes https://github.com/itchyny/gojq/issues/153 and also upstreamed quite a lot https://github.com/itchyny/gojq/issues?q=author%3Awader like custom iterators (to allow eval, own iterators and "empty" functions), query marshalling (query rewrite tricks) and a bunch of small things and bug fixes. But the largest change to add a JQValue interface is quite complex, other changes like extended literals is also a bit tricky.

    Hmm weird list of changes for https://github.com/wader/gojq/compare/fq...itchyny:gojq:main but i guess it is because i haven't kept my main branch in sync. The fq branch should be based on latest gojq/main as of now. I usually try to rebase as quick as possible.

    Let me know if you have any other questions or want to help out! maybe email etc as i usually don't check HN comments replies that often :)

    gojq has support for yaml input (via a very annoying argument name) and also has the golang property of "curl binary; chmod; profit": https://github.com/itchyny/gojq#difference-to-jq

    It's error reporting is also clang-vs-gcc level wizardry, and I often use it to get a helpful message instead of "ENOWORKY" from jq (I haven't tried 1.7 yet, so it could be better for all I know)

  • First release of jq in 5 years

    Some competition for https://github.com/itchyny/gojq. I had read somewhere that it was faster than jq - no idea if that's still the case.
  • Library to analyze an arbitrary JSON string

    JQ has a go implementation usable as a library I see. The project looks fairly active https://github.com/itchyny/gojq
  • Miller: Like Awk, sed, cut, join, and sort for CSV, TSV, and tabular JSON
    11 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 16 Mar 2023
    I've been getting a lot of mileage out of https://github.com/itchyny/gojq#readme recently due to two things: its vastly superior error messages and the (regrettably verbose) `--yaml-input` option

    I also have https://github.com/01mf02/jaq#readme installed but just haven't needed it

  • Yq is a portable yq: command-line YAML, JSON, XML, CSV and properties processor
    11 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 4 Feb 2023
    I use gojq with --yaml-input or --yaml-output and flip back and forth between JSON and YAML promiscuously and have 100% jq UI compat, which helps because I use jq a lot. First thing I looked at on yq is '-s', which is 'slurp' for jq. Slightly altered semantics would just trip me up, and it seems like you can make a nearly straight bijection between YAML and jq so you can just do exactly the same things with either one (with some minor exceptions.)

    github.com/itchyny/gojq -> similar to goawk, except JQ this time
