• jello

  31 496 0.0 Python

  CLI tool to filter JSON and JSON Lines data with Python syntax. (Similar to jq)

  And if you don't like jq syntax, here's how you can use JSON in Bash using jello, a tool I wrote that works very similarly to jq but uses pure Python syntax:

• dasel

  46 7,213 7.1 Go

  Select, put and delete data from JSON, TOML, YAML, XML and CSV files with a single tool. Supports conversion between formats and can be used as a Go package.

  yq is great and so is dasel. Dasel is nice because it works uniformly across input types.

• miller

  65 9,023 9.2 Go

  Miller is like awk, sed, cut, join, and sort for name-indexed data such as CSV, TSV, and tabular JSON

  Another tool I've been meaning to get better at is mlr, which is a format-agnostic data viewing/manipulation cli tool. I hadn't heard of dasel before today. Had you heard of mlr, and if so, how would you compare dasel and mlr? While I would love to LEARNALLTHETOOLS, my brain doesn't have room for that many.

• csvq

  14 1,522 0.0 Go

  SQL-like query language for csv

  I just found https://github.com/mithrandie/csvq which is SQL for CSV files, which I thought was pretty cool.

• jq

  306 25,063 0.0 C

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

  

• jmespath.py

• structured-text-tools

  15 6,984 7.1

  A list of command-line tools for manipulating structured text data

  Thanks again for the jq writeup and for the dasel pointer. I'll be adding dasel to my mental shortlist of tools to learn. Which is not such a short list....
