List of JSON tools for command line

  Ultimate Plumber is a tool for writing Linux pipes with instant live preview (by akavel)

I use jq in combination with ultimate plumber. Ultimate plumber basically lets you work with pipes interactively, giving you a live preview. The nice thing is that it's not limited to jq (but also you don't get the interactive completion and stuff, so it's a tradeoff).

• nvim-jqx

  13 280 2.1 Lua

  Populate the quickfix with json entries

Shameless self-promotion, I wrote a neovim plugin that helps browsing and querying json files: nvim-jqx, in case someone finds it useful :)

  JSON Stream Editor (command line utility) (by tidwall)

jj is also really good. Someone posted it as a comment, but it didn't make the original article.

  Code generation from YAML/JSON/CSV models via SCRIBAN templates

Plug for something I wrote: [github link]*https://github.com/NeilMacMullen/Textrude). The CLI version can pipe json (or yaml,csv or text lines) from stdin or fetch it from a URL then turn it into model and apply a Scriban template to it to emit text to stdout. Runs on Linux or Windows and also comes with an interactive UI prototyping tool.
