jqp VS jq

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

That should recursively list directories, counting only the files within each, and output² jsonl that can be further mangled within the shell². You could just as easily populate an associative array for further work, or $whatever. Unlike bash, zsh has reasonable behaviour around quoting and whitespace too.

What I miss from jq and what is implemented but unreleased is platform independent line delimiters.

jq on Windows produces \r\n terminated lines which can be annoying when used with Cygwin / MSYS2 / WSL. The '--binary' option to not convert line delimiters is one of those pending improvements.

If you have jq installed you can use it to make the output look nicer.

It requires jq for JSON processing and GNU parallel for concurrent searches in the notebooks.

jq is your friend.

The jq command (https://stedolan.github.io/jq/) is useful pulling that information out.
