jaq VS jqp

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

You may be familiar with some utilities that provide this interactivity, like jqp, but these come with their own downsides, namely subtle bugs due to the re-implementation of the original JQ in language X, but also they are additional dependencies you have to track and install for your platform architecture and OS/distribution.

Jqp: https://github.com/noahgorstein/jqp (for more complex jq stuff)

Also check out jqp (jq REPL) for when you need a few tries to get the right jq selector: https://github.com/noahgorstein/jqp

Looks a bit like fzf combined with jq.

jqp the Text User Interface for playing about with jq might help a bit.

You can have your input JSON terminal left, the output post jq terminal right and interactively edit your jq script elements above.

( based upon the Go implementation of jq )

I also showed using a TUI wapper around `jq` called `jqp` https://github.com/noahgorstein/jqp which can be nice when iterating on a `jq` filter
