Jj: JSON Stream Editor

1. GJSON

   1 38 14,560 5.9 Go

   Get JSON values quickly - JSON parser for Go

   ```

   I don't think there is a way to sort an array, though. However, there is an option to have keys sorted. Personally, I don't think there is much annoyance in that. One could just pipe `jj` output to `sort | uniq -c`.

   Discontinued Command-line JSON processor [Moved to: https://github.com/jqlang/jq] (by stedolan)

   

   I'll take the chance to bring attention to the maintenance issues that 'jq' has been having in the last years [1]; there hasn't been a new release since 2018, which IMO wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing if not for the fact that the main branch has been collecting improvements and bug fixes [2] since then.

   A group of motivated users are currently talking about what direction to take; a fork is being considered in order to unlock new development and bug fixes [3]. Maybe someone reading this is able and willing to join their efforts.

6. jless

   5 37 4,849 3.4 Rust

   jless is a command-line JSON viewer designed for reading, exploring, and searching through JSON data.

   > * Switching to a GUI to browse the JSON that would let you copy the path to the current value would probably also help there*

   Try https://jless.io/ then.
