About:
OK JSON is a command-line utility for validating, formatting, and manipulating JSON data. It provides a robust alternative to jq with a more intuitive scripting syntax for querying and transforming data structures. The tool is designed for developers who need to process JSON in pipelines or build complex data transformations without the steep learning curve of traditional tools.
Key Features:
  • Scriptable JSON manipulation with intuitive syntax
  • Built-in validation and pretty-printing capabilities
  • Cross-platform support for macOS, Linux, and Windows
  • Zero-dependency single binary distribution
Use Cases:
  • Validating and formatting JSON configuration files in CI/CD pipelines
  • Extracting and transforming data from API responses for scripting
  • Processing large JSON datasets for data analysis workflows
Alternatives:
  • jq – More powerful but with steeper learning curve and complex syntax
  • jsontools – Simpler but lacks advanced scripting capabilities
