jaq VS jq-zsh-plugin

https://github.com/01mf02/jaq/blob/main/Cargo.lock

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

I find that for big datasets choosing the right format is crucial. Using json-lines format + some shell filtering (eg. head, tail to limit the range, egrep or ripgrep for the more trivial filtering) to reduce the dataset to a couple of megabytes, then use that jq-repl of mine to iterate fast on the final jq expression.

I found that the REPL form factor works really well when you don't exactly know what you're digging for.
