About:
JP is a command-line utility that transforms JSON data into terminal-based visualizations like bar charts and scatter plots. It parses JSON from stdin or files and renders plots directly in the terminal, enabling quick data analysis without requiring a GUI. This tool is ideal for developers and data engineers needing immediate visual insights from JSON logs or API responses.

Key Features:

Zero-dependency binary
Supports bar, line, and scatter plots
Parses JSON from stdin or files
Automatic axis scaling and labeling

Use Cases:

Visualizing API response times or metrics
Quickly plotting log data for debugging
Monitoring real-time data streams in the terminal

Alternatives:

gnuplot – More powerful but complex and requires setup
jq – Excellent for data extraction but lacks built-in visualization
