Alternatives
Products that do what Qq: like jq, but can transcode between many formats does
qq is jq inspired interoperable config format transcoder with interactive querying. It features an optional interactive editor with autocomplete for structured data. And supports inputs and outputs for json, xml, ini, toml, yaml, hcl, tf, and csv to varying degrees of capability.

Hi HN. I've gotten pretty tired of needing to learn a custom programming language for a tool I use once a week or less. So I figured, it might be easier to pick up if `jq` used a programming language I already know. Voila, gq.

I built qqqa as an open-source project, because I was tired of bouncing between shell, ChatGPT / the browser for rather simple commands. It comes with two binaries: qq and qa. qq means "quick question" - it is read-only, perfect for the commands I always forget. qa means "quick agent" - it is qq's sibling that can run things, but only after showing its plan and getting an approval by the user. It is built entirely around the Unix philosophy of focused tools, stateless by default - pretty much the opposite of what most coding agent are focusing on. Personally I've had the best experience…

I'm working on a tool that will probably involve querying JSON documents and I'm asking myself how to expose that functionality to my users. I like the power of `jq` and the fact that LLMs are proficient at it, but I find it right out impossible to come up with the right `jq` incantations myself. Has anyone here been in a similar situation? Which tool / language did you end up exposing to your users?

Hey all, I just released v2.0.0 of FilterQL, a query language and TypeScript library. This version adds support for Operations, which allow you to transform the data after filtering. If you think this would be useful in a project you're working on, give it a try and let me know what you think!

Hey HN! Jaiqu is an AI agent for creating repeatable JSON transforms using jq query language syntax. Jaiqu translates complex JSON structures into repeatable jq queries. jq is a command line utility built for fast, reliable JSON queries. Jaiqu takes advantage of the LLMs for both constructing jq queries as well as using feedback to fix errors/invalid results if those queries are incorrect. Writing code to parse JSON is super annoying. It usually involves manually reading huge JSON balls, parsing the keys in a language of your choice, and pulling the data manually. Also, you're likely to…

After two years of improvement, I think it's time to share it with you all. Here’s a quick overview: - Common features include validation, formatting, minification, and more. - Visualize JSON in a graph or table view. - Structured comparison with fallback to text comparison. - Navigate though JSON using JSON pointer. - Supports jq. Would love to hear the community's questions, thoughts and comments!

I originally built a QR code generator as a resume project using Rust and I realized a web interface would make customization way easier. This still generates the "data" using that rust library via wasm, but the rendering is all editable javascript to make an SVG or paint on an HTML canvas. I was especially inspired by https://qrbtf.com which had some unique style options I had never seen before, which I ended up copying, and then I made some more.

Hi everyone! I’m excited to open source GritQL, a Rust CLI for searching and transforming source code. GritQL comes from my experiences with conducting large scale refactors and migrations. Usually, I would start exploring a codebase with grep. This is easy to start with, but most migrations end up accumulating additional requirements like ensuring the right packages are imported and excluding cases which don’t have a viable migration path. Eventually, to build a complex migration, I usually ended up having to write a full codemod program with a tool like jscodeshift. This comes with its own…

Hi HN ! I'm Alex, a tech enthusiast. I'm excited to show you Paradict (https://github.com/pyrustic/paradict), my solution for streamable multi-format serialization. Although JSON, YAML, and TOML are all human-readable, they serve different purposes. For example, TOML is specifically designed for configuration files while JSON is used as a data interchange format. Sometimes an initiative to create a binary version of JSON arises and as far as I know, it ends with an unidirectional mapping of datatypes. There is no silver bullet, yet one coherent solution built from scratch…

I was searching for an interactive jq editor when I came across this repo [1], which had an intriguing suggestion for a CLI using only fzf: echo '' | fzf --print-query --preview "cat *.json | jq {q}" This sent me down a rabbit hole, and I discovered just how incredibly configurable fzf is. For instance: - `--bind=ctrl-y:execute-silent(jq {q} $tempfile | pbcopy)`: You can bind custom keys to execute non-default behaviors, like copying the current selection or `echo`-ing. - `--query="."`: Start fzf with an initial query (e.g., `.` for jq queries) to streamline the experience. -…

Hey, For those of you who don't know my little tool Musoq, I wanted to introduce it as a small tool that allows you to query with SQL-like syntax without any database. It allows you to query various things from niche ones like CAN DBC files, weird ones like C# code, interesting ones with Git querying to regular stuff like CSV, TSV and various others. I am quite a bit experimenting with various things so I'm hybridizing the engine with LLMs or doing other weird stuff that are more or less practical :-) I wanted also to share some recent developments in this little project as I hope it might…
