jq 1.7 Released
33 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 6 Sep 2023

Seeing this news today, I decided to give jq another try and ended up discovering jq-mode [1] for emacs. It doesn't just support jq filter file editing, it supports jq in org-mode and something else called 'jq-interactively'. This interactive mode allows you to apply jq interactively on a JSON or YAML (with yq) buffer. The buffer contents become the filtered value when you finish editing the jq filter with a return. This is especially impressive to see in yaml files.

Good stuff u/konrad1977! You might consider contributing some of your build and simulator commands to swift-mode's repl module. I have found the maintainer pretty easy to work with.
