    Terminal JSON viewer & processor

  • There's definitely more features I want to add: Windows support, some way to filter data with jq filters (a la fx), yanking objects to the clipboard, being able to hide keys entirely, streaming data in, so you can peek at the start of gigantic file, maybe a way to extract a schema from a file (something like this), plenty of low-hanging fruit for performance. Support for different hierarchical data formats (YAML, TOML, XML) could be cool someday. I'm sure many people will ask for editing support, but I definitely don't plan on adding support for that anytime soon.

    Build and Test Your Rust Projects with Zero Configuration

  • If you ever want to put it on homebrew (Mac package system) you can add this to your project https://github.com/XAMPPRocky/mean-bean-ci-template to get GitHub builds when you add a tag, then you can point homebrew at the zip file and it can make the scaffolding for the homebrew entry for you. I did it for Kondo, you can see the result here: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/HEAD/Formula/kondo.rb
