jellex [file]

jellex (Jello Explorer) is a TUI program for interactively processing JSON and JSON Lines data using Python syntax. It provides a split-pane interface with an Editor window on the left for writing Python queries and a Viewer window on the right that updates in real time as queries are modified. A toggleable Schema view shows the data structure.
In queries, _ represents the loaded JSON as a Python dict or list. Both dot notation and bracket notation can be used to access key names. The Editor uses standard Emacs key bindings. jellex uses jello on the backend to execute queries.

Requires Python and the jello library. Uses Python syntax rather than jq syntax, which may be unfamiliar to jq users but accessible to Python developers.

jellex was created by Kelly Brazil (kellyjonbrazil) and is written in Python. It builds on the author's jello CLI tool, adding an interactive TUI layer for exploration.
