nvim-jqx VS jq

nvim-jqx is your neovim interface to json and yaml files1: in the last release I have fixed a few bugs introduced by the latest changes in `yq` grammar and have added treesitter syntax highlight to the floating buffer (invoked when querying the json or yaml keys, why I had not done it before already is beyond my memory :p):

As far as I know there is no other plugin at the moment that interfaces neovim with json files, and more often than not we see questions here where people suggest to reformat json files via python or some other :%!. Well, with jqx you have it all in one place, so you may find it useful: have a look at the repository and feel free to open up issues with improvements or suggestions!

Have you tried nvim-jqx?

By the way, nvim-jqx can come to your rescue.

...or you can use nvim-jqx (neovim only though) :p

P. S. If you are using neovim nvim-jqx is a jq wrapper that populates entries in the quickfix window. Spoiler alert: I am the author (so in this case you can shoot the messenger :p)!

Potentially related: nvim-jqx wraps around yq to populate the quickfix window with yaml keys, moreover supporting (limited) queries with autocompletion.

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.
