gojq VS jq

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)

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.

JQ has a go implementation usable as a library I see. The project looks fairly active https://github.com/itchyny/gojq

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

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

I think like you. But also, one does not necessarily know beforehand that they will want to make money.

Like a project could be born out of pure generosity, but after the happy initial phase the project might get too heavy on the maintenance requirements, causing the author to approach burnout, and possibly deciding that they want to make money to continue pulling the cart forward.

However, here's something I do think: if you create something as Open Source, it should be out of a mentality of goodwill and for the greater good, regardless of how it ends up being used. OSS licenses do mean this with their terms. If you later get tired or burned out, you should just retire and allow the community to keep taking care of it. Just like it happened with the Jq tool [1].

In this blog we'll see how to upload the JSON directly using PostgreSQL COPY command and using an utility called jq!

And we can then make it easier to find the commit by filtering the response with jq.

Official Documentation: jqlang.github.io/jq

To handle JSON files and JSON outputs in a script or format and highlight it, jq can be very handy. Many command line tools provide a json output, so you don't have to write a custom parser for a table a list in a terminal. Instead of that, you can use jq to get a specific value from the output or even modify the output. For more information, you can visit https://jqlang.github.io/jq/

In some projects I've wanted to use HTTPie to test APIs and jq to work with some JSON data. Nix has been really helpful in managing those dependencies that I can't easily get from npm.

> I'd love to see programs communicate through a typed JSON/proto format that shed enough details to make this more independent, and get useful shell command structuring/completion or full blown GUIs from simply introspecting the expected input and output types.

You should try PowerShell. It's basically Microsoft's .NET ecosystem molded into an interactive command line. I'm not entirely sure if PoweShell can make full use of the static types that build up its core, but its ability to exchange objects in the command line is almost unmatched.

On Linux you can use `jc` (https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jc) combined with `jq` (https://jqlang.github.io/jq/) to glue together command lines.

Yeah, but muscle memory bites me all the time and I put the backslash on the closing paren, too, because I'm so used to the regex usage of that syntax which needs them to match

I also want to draw the reader's attention to the magic of |@uri <https://github.com/jqlang/jq/blob/jq-1.7/docs/content/manual...> for a bunch of cases, but doubly so in TFA's case where they're plugging strings into a URI context. Simple string concat often works great for "hello world", but the world is not always just hello, so one quick use of the filter and jq's got your back

  echo "the world's scary" | jq -Rr '"\(.)"'
