About:
Ijq is an interactive tool and terminal user interface for jq. It allows you to explore JSON data in real-time, providing a split-pane view that updates instantly as you refine your jq filter queries. This immediate feedback loop significantly streamlines the process of debugging complex filters and inspecting deeply nested API responses.
Key Features:
  • Interactive split-pane interface with live query results
  • Built-in syntax highlighting for jq and JSON
  • Keybindings and navigation similar to Vim
  • Zero-config integration with existing jq workflows
Use Cases:
  • Exploring and inspecting complex JSON API responses
  • Iteratively building and debugging jq filter queries
  • Navigating large, deeply nested JSON configuration files
Alternatives:
  • jq – The standard CLI tool; Ijq acts as an interactive wrapper to enhance the query development experience.
  • fx – A similar interactive JSON viewer, but fx uses a JavaScript-based environment rather than jq syntax.
