About
Slice, filter, map and transform JSON data right in the terminal. jq plays the role for JSON that sed, awk and grep play for plain text, so you can pull a single value out of a large file or reshape a whole document.
It is written in portable C and has no runtime dependencies. You can download a standalone executable, run it from a Docker image, or build it from source. An online playground and official documentation help you try expressions before using them.
Highlights
- Filter, map and transform JSON in the terminal
- Standalone executable with no runtime dependencies
- Online playground to test expressions
Who it's for
Good for anyone who reads API responses or config files in JSON and wants specific values from the shell.
