jnv

jnv [-f filter] [file]

jnv is an interactive JSON viewer and jq filter editor. It provides a split-pane interface with a filter editor at the top and a syntax-highlighted JSON view below that updates in real time as you type your jq filter. Inspired by jid and jiq, jnv uses jaq internally to apply filters, eliminating the need to install jq separately.
The tool supports JSON files and JSON Lines input, configurable UI through TOML configuration, hint message toggling, and adjustable reactivity including debounce times.

Uses jaq (not jq) internally, so some advanced jq features or edge cases may behave differently. Large JSON files may impact responsiveness of the live preview.

jnv was created by ynqa and is written in Rust. It was designed to provide a more polished and self-contained interactive JSON exploration experience compared to earlier tools like jid and jiq.
