In plain words

ijq is an interactive interface for jq, the command-line JSON processor. It lets users explore and transform JSON data with real-time feedback as they write jq queries. The tool is designed for developers and data analysts who work with JSON files and want a more exploratory approach to query building. ijq makes the typically command-line-based jq experience more interactive and visual, showing results instantly as queries are modified.

  • JSON QueryOct 2025 · jsonquerylang.org · ▲154

    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?
