About:
Jid is a command-line tool that allows you to interactively filter and query JSON data using a query string. It provides a live, incremental search interface where you can type a filter expression and immediately see the matching JSON output. This makes it invaluable for parsing and exploring complex JSON streams from APIs or command-line tools.
Key Features:
  • Interactive incremental filtering of JSON streams
  • Lightweight and fast execution
  • Simple query syntax similar to jq
  • Real-time feedback as you type
Use Cases:
  • Filtering API responses to find specific data points
  • Exploring deeply nested JSON structures from CLI tools
  • Debugging JSON output from scripts
Alternatives:
  • jq – jq is a powerful, non-interactive JSON processor for scripting, while jid focuses on interactive exploration.
  • jiq – jiq is an interactive version of jq, often using a similar TUI approach but relying on jq's syntax.
