About:
Fx is a terminal-based JSON viewer that provides an interactive, visually structured representation of JSON data. It allows users to navigate, filter, and inspect complex JSON files directly within the command line. The tool enhances productivity by making raw JSON data more readable and manageable without leaving the terminal.
Key Features:
  • Interactive tree view for navigating JSON structures
  • Real-time filtering and querying capabilities
  • Syntax highlighting and pretty-printing
  • Keyboard-driven navigation for efficient browsing
Use Cases:
  • Inspecting API responses and JSON logs in development workflows
  • Analyzing configuration files and data exports directly in the terminal
Alternatives:
  • jq – jq is a powerful JSON processor focused on transformation and extraction, while fx emphasizes interactive visualization and navigation.
  • jless – jless is another interactive JSON viewer, but fx offers a more streamlined, command-line native experience with simpler filtering.
