About jqp

jqp is a TUI playground for jq. You load JSON, type a query and see the result as you build it, which makes it easier to work out filters before putting them in a script.

It uses gojq, itchyny's implementation of jq written in Go, rather than calling the jq binary. Packages are available through Homebrew, MacPorts, the Arch User Repository and Snap, and prebuilt binaries are attached to GitHub releases.

Strengths

  • Live preview of jq query output
  • Several package manager options
  • No separate jq install needed

Limitations

  • Uses gojq, which can differ from jq in edge cases
  • Terminal interface only
