About:
jql is a command-line interface tool that leverages a JSON query language to manipulate and query JSON data. It allows users to extract specific values, filter arrays, and transform data structures directly from the terminal. This tool is designed to be a lightweight and fast alternative to jq for users who prefer a more intuitive, path-based syntax.
Key Features:
  • Intuitive, dot-notation syntax for querying
  • Powerful filtering and slicing capabilities
  • Efficient handling of large JSON files
  • Cross-platform support
Use Cases:
  • Parsing API responses in shell scripts
  • Extracting specific configuration values from JSON files
  • Filtering log data or system outputs for analysis
Alternatives:
  • jq – jq is the industry standard with a more complex, functional syntax, while jql offers a simpler, path-based approach.
  • dasel – dasel supports multiple data formats (JSON, YAML, TOML) whereas jql is specialized for JSON.
