hifijson VS jaq

I have recently encountered similar problems as you and also created a JSON crate, hifijson. Its unique idea is that JSON parsing itself is not so hard, but JSON lexing is! Therefore, my crate provides a JSON lexer that you can use to create your custom JSON parser with any functionality you need. For example, this allows you to ignore escape sequences, giving you a &str for strings. Or, if you care about escape sequences, hifijson gives you a Cow similarly to serde_json, allocating new memory only if necessary.

That's a lot of dependencies..

Thanks for the jqjq shoutout! :) i'm quite sure jq is turing complete, jq (and jqjq!) can implement brainfuck https://github.com/01mf02/jaq/blob/main/examples/bf.jq

/uj Because of this post, I have learned I could have been using jaq instead of jq.

There's also jaq which is written in Rust, aims for compatibility with jq (except some specific features), and boasts better performance.

jaq is closer to that

if [[ $(hyprctl -j getoption general:layout | jaq -r '.str') = "master" ]]; then hyprctl keyword general:layout "dwindle" else hyprctl keyword general:layout "master" fi you'll need https://github.com/01mf02/jaq

You will need https://github.com/01mf02/jaq

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
