community VS jqp

The JSON Schema organization is looking for honest feedback on how we can make our Community Working Meetings and Office Hours more engaging with the community. We would love to see new recurrent faces in there to help improve JSON Schema.

Did you attend an Office Hours or Open Community Working Meeting in the last 12 months?

If so, please fill in this 1 minute survey to help us improve!

You can also find a record of this discussion here: https://github.com/json-schema-org/community/issues/566

At crossref.org we are building out a form-based application using this library, and also working on the development of the VueJS/Vuetify renderer set https://github.com/eclipsesource/jsonforms-vuetify-renderers.

The UISchema is a compromise, and I think that largely is a result of the limitations of JSON Schema when applied to form generation - it's good, but it's not perfect.

There is an open discussion on the JSON Schema GH about creating a custom JSON Schema vocabulary for form generation, which could answer some of these limitations https://github.com/json-schema-org/community/discussions/70

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 )

See: https://github.com/noahgorstein/jqp

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
