jqp VS fx

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

There's also this awesome tool to make JSON interactively navigable in the terminal:

Using awk/sed to parse json seems to be using the wrong tool for the job.

As an alternative to jq with easier to remember syntax, see https://fx.wtf/
