About:
jqp is a terminal-based interactive playground for the jq JSON processor, providing a real-time environment to experiment with jq queries. It offers syntax highlighting, auto-completion, and immediate feedback, making it easier to learn and debug complex JSON transformations. The tool is particularly valuable for developers working with JSON APIs, configuration files, or data pipelines.

Key Features:

Interactive TUI for real-time jq query experimentation
Syntax highlighting and auto-completion for jq expressions
Immediate feedback with split-pane view showing input and output
Supports loading JSON from files, URLs, or stdin
Built-in tutorial mode for learning jq

Use Cases:

Learning and practicing jq syntax and transformations interactively
Debugging and developing complex jq filters for JSON data processing
Quickly exploring and manipulating JSON responses from APIs or logs

Alternatives:

jq – The core CLI tool jqp enhances; jqp adds interactive TUI but relies on jq for processing
jiq – Another interactive jq TUI; jqp offers a more feature-rich playground with tutorial mode
