About:
MQ is a lightweight command-line interface tool designed to parse and query Markdown documents using a jq-like syntax. It allows developers to extract specific elements like headers, links, or lists from Markdown files programmatically. This tool simplifies the process of automating documentation workflows and data extraction from structured text.
Key Features:
  • jq-like query syntax for structured text
  • Fast parsing of Markdown elements
  • Pipeline support for chaining operations
  • Zero-config and lightweight
Use Cases:
  • Extracting links or metadata from README files during CI/CD pipelines
  • Automating documentation audits and link checking
  • Filtering Markdown content for static site generators
Alternatives:
  • pandoc – Pandoc is a universal document converter; MQ is specifically focused on querying Markdown structure rather than format conversion.
  • jq – jq is for JSON; MQ brings similar querying capabilities to Markdown text formats.
