Jaq – A jq clone focused on correctness, speed, and simplicity

• jq

  52 29,042 9.4 C

  Command-line JSON processor

  

jq 1.7 do preserve large integers but will truncate if any operation is done on them. Unfortunetly it currently truncates to a decimal64 which is a bit confusing, this will be fixed in next release where it follow the suggestion from the JSON spec and truncates to binary64 (double) https://github.com/jqlang/jq/pull/2949

That's a lot of dependencies..

  Make JSON greppable!

Have you tried `gron`?

It converts your nested json into a line by line format which plays better with tools like `grep`

From the project's README:

▶ gron "https://api.github.com/repos/tomnomnom/gron/commits?per_page..." | fgrep "commit.author"

json[0].commit.author = {};

json[0].commit.author.date = "2016-07-02T10:51:21Z";

json[0].commit.author.email = "[email protected]";

json[0].commit.author.name = "Tom Hudson";

https://github.com/tomnomnom/gron

It was suggested to me in HN comments on an article I wrote about `jq`, and I have found myself using it a lot in my day to day workflow

• Saxon-HE

  2 68 6.1

  Saxon-HE open source repository

  

Now that is just aggressively dumb: https://github.com/Saxonica/Saxon-HE/tree/SaxonHE12-3/12#sou... and https://github.com/Saxonica/Saxon-HE/tree/SaxonHE12-3/12/sou... (not even the decency to use .gitattributes so it knows the files are binary)

FWIW https://saxonica.plan.io/projects/saxonmirrorhe/repository seems to be the for-real source repo

• yq

  66 10,802 9.2 Go

  yq is a portable command-line YAML, JSON, XML, CSV, TOML and properties processor

- yq has no if-then-else https://github.com/mikefarah/yq/issues/95 which is a poor design (or omission) in my opinion

• fq

  43 9,384 9.4 Go

  jq for binary formats - tool, language and decoders for working with binary and text formats

Quite a lot! i use it to explode both JSON and tex (parse using jq functions). I also use it for exploring ane debug binary formats (https://github.com/wader/fq). Now a days i also use it for some adhoc programming and a calculator.

• related_post_gen

  15 273 9.9 C++

  Data Processing benchmark featuring Rust, Go, Swift, Zig, Julia etc.

I think my benchmark[1] would be a great test for this. The jq[2] version takes 50s on my machine.

  🚀 The leading Wasm Runtime supporting WASIX, WASI and Emscripten

  

• jql

  11 1,416 8.1 Rust

  A JSON Query Language CLI tool

It's so awesome when projects shout out other projects that they're similar to or inspired by or not replacements for. I learned about https://github.com/yamafaktory/jql from the readme of this project and it's what I've been looking for for a long time, thank you!

That's not to take away from JAQ by any means I just find the JQ style syntax uber hard to grokk so jql makes more sense for me.

• yq

  24 2,461 6.1 Python

  Command-line YAML, XML, TOML processor - jq wrapper for YAML/XML/TOML documents (by kislyuk)

• textql

  15 9,030 3.7 Go

  Execute SQL against structured text like CSV or TSV

I like textql [0] better for this use case, as it's simpler in my mind.

• jless

  34 4,487 6.3 Rust

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

https://jless.io/ is similar, and will give you jq selectors so the two combine very well. (fx might have that feature too, I dunno)

• git-xargs-tasks

  1 0 6.1 Shell

  Keep git-xargs changes together

I've been using yq + git-xargs to automate config files in repos (CI/CD, linters, etc). The combo has been spectacular for me.

  PowerShell for every system!

  

Can you give an example of something that PS can do that is built-in for text processing, instead of a proprietary symbolic query language?

• gojq

  31 3,084 8.6 Go

  Pure Go implementation of jq

• rcl

  3 132 9.9 Rust

  A reasonable configuration language (by ruuda)

I have that same problem, the advanced features I use too little to remember. Then I started working on a configuration language that should have a non-surprising syntax (json superset, mostly inspired by Python, Rust, Nix). And it turns out, this works well as a query language for querying json documents. https://github.com/ruuda/rcl Here is an example use case: https://fosstodon.org/@ruuda/111120049523534027

• murex

  55 1,370 9.6 Go

  A smarter shell and scripting environment with advanced features designed for usability, safety and productivity (eg smarter DevOps tooling)

This is exactly what Murex shell does. It has lots of builtin tools for querying structured data (of varying formats) but also supports POSIX pipes for using existing tools like `jq` et al seamlessly too.
