jqp
TUI playground to experiment with jq
TLDR
Open a JSON file in the playground
$ jqp -f [path/to/file.json]
Pipe JSON from stdin$ cat [path/to/file.json] | jqp
Start with an initial query$ jqp -f [path/to/file.json] -q '.[0]'
Use a specific theme$ jqp -f [path/to/file.json] --theme [monokai]
SYNOPSIS
jqp [-f file] [-q query] [--theme theme]
DESCRIPTION
jqp is a TUI playground for exploring and experimenting with jq queries. It provides an interactive interface where you can type jq filters and see results update in real time against your JSON data. The tool supports both JSON and newline-delimited JSON (NDJSON) input.
Features include query history, auto-completion, customizable themes (light and dark), and the ability to start with a pre-defined query.
CAVEATS
Requires jq to be installed on the system. Large JSON files may impact the responsiveness of live preview updates.
HISTORY
jqp was created by Noah Gorstein (noahgorstein) and is written in Go. It was designed as a terminal-native alternative to web-based jq playgrounds.
