List of JSON tools for command line

1. jid

   1 15 6,937 0.0 Go

   json incremental digger

6. up

   5 28 8,444 0.0 Go

   Ultimate Plumber is a tool for writing Linux pipes with instant live preview (by akavel)

   

   I use jq in combination with ultimate plumber. Ultimate plumber basically lets you work with pipes interactively, giving you a live preview. The nice thing is that it's not limited to jq (but also you don't get the interactive completion and stuff, so it's a tradeoff).

7. nvim-jqx

   6 13 309 3.2 Lua

   Populate the quickfix with json entries

   

   Shameless self-promotion, I wrote a neovim plugin that helps browsing and querying json files: nvim-jqx, in case someone finds it useful :)

8. jj

   7 8 1,997 2.6 Go

   JSON Stream Editor (command line utility) (by tidwall)

   

   jj is also really good. Someone posted it as a comment, but it didn't make the original article.

10. fx

    Terminal JSON viewer & processor

    

    For the lazy such as myself; https://github.com/antonmedv/fx

11. Textrude

    9 4 131 5.9 C#

    Code generation from YAML/JSON/CSV models via SCRIBAN templates

    

    Plug for something I wrote: [github link]*https://github.com/NeilMacMullen/Textrude). The CLI version can pipe json (or yaml,csv or text lines) from stdin or fetch it from a URL then turn it into model and apply a Scriban template to it to emit text to stdout. Runs on Linux or Windows and also comes with an interactive UI prototyping tool.

12. pxi

    10 4 270 0.0 JavaScript

    🧚 pxi (pixie) is a small, fast, and magical command-line data processor similar to jq, mlr, and awk.
