In plain words
JQL is a command-line tool for querying JSON data, written in Rust. It allows developers to extract and filter information from JSON files and streams using a dedicated query language. The tool is designed for programmers who need to parse and manipulate JSON data from the terminal. Being built in Rust, it offers performance and memory efficiency compared to interpreted alternatives, making it suitable for processing large JSON datasets quickly.

Wrote this back in November to scratch an itch regarding tailing logs locally for multiple services. I know we all love jq...but I'm quite comfortable with SQLite and SQL so just wanted to use that instead. Published my first Rust crate today! My first public Rust project so be gentle :) . Hope you enjoy it! https://crates.io/crates/jlq https://github.com/hamin/jlq
JSON QueryOct 2025 · jsonquerylang.org · ▲154I'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?

Talanoa▲340Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
