jqp is a TUI (textual user interace) for crafting jq queries.

My main goal in making jqp was to help myself and others learn jq syntax a bit better. I found that I often iterate on my jq queries prior to adding it to my scripts.

The jqp UI is broken up into 3 main components.

1. an input to enter your jq query
2. a scrollable viewport to view your input
3. a scrollable viewport to view your query’s output

jqp can read input via the -f/--file flag or via stdin which can be useful for exploring JSON API responses.

jqp --file data.json

curl "https://dummyjson.com/products" | jqp

Keybindings are provided to both copy the query to your system clipboard and save the current query’s output to a file.

jqp has been featured on Youtube on some developer-centric channels.

jqp has over 40 themes to pick from with options for both terminals with a light and dark background color.

Below are 2 of my personal favorite light and dark themes - monokai-light and github-dark.
