• Command Line Tools I Like (2022)

  Coincidentally, yesterday I decided I needed a JSON TUI and landed on fx (https://github.com/antonmedv/fx), which seems to have come out of the Wave terminal project and looks quite similar to jless. Also uses vim keybindings. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Show HN: Posting v1 – The modern HTTP client that lives in your terminal

  This is great, I could see myself using it daily. The only hindrance I've found so far is navigating large responses. Would be cool to have some way to collapse chunks of JSON (a la https://github.com/antonmedv/fx), or even just more vim key navigation, like G/gg, %, {/}, and search. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• I wrote JOSN, a command-line JSON browser

  Neat! You mentioned not getting the hang of jq, have you played with fx? Source: almost 2 years ago

• Show HN: Llama – Terminal File Manager

  This looks like something I'd use often. Thanks for creating it! For anyone who's not familiar, Anton is also behind the highly useful fx[0] for wrangling JSON data in the terminal. [0] https://github.com/antonmedv/fx. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• I'm developing a new command line tool for querying and transforming JSON files , called ~Q (pronounced "unquery"). My design goal is to create a tool that is powerful yet easy to use (aim to be more intuitive for users than existing tools such as jq). Let me know your thoughts and suggestions.

  I've been so fed up with jq's annoying syntax that I began thinking about developing something that can perform json operations in familiar syntax such as javascript but I ran into fx (https://github.com/antonmedv/fx) and it's been pretty great actually. Source: over 2 years ago

• Fx 24.0.0

  Hi I’m the author of https://github.com/antonmedv/fx (terminal JSON viewer) Recently I decided to rewrite entire program to Go. And usually on second rewrite things end-up better. Main reason for this, I believe is clear end result, the target. I think new ersion of fx is much more superior:) I recommend you, to check it out ;) Would like to have some feedback and ideas for improvement. One of new cool features... - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• Zq: An Easier (and Faster) Alternative to Jq

  I really like fx (https://github.com/antonmedv/fx) for interactive stuff. It does exactly what I think you want. You can expand individual fields and explore the schema. However, I really do like jq for queries and scripting, so I keep both around. - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago

• Zq: An Easier (and Faster) Alternative to Jq

  In the theme of jq alternatives, there is fx[1] which has an interactive view and supports querying JSON in Javascript, Python and Ruby. [1] https://github.com/antonmedv/fx. - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago

• Ask HN: What do you use to view logs?

  I guess it kinda depends on lots of things… I guess many people use Graylog, Splunk or similar web-based systems (which can be self-hosted if you like). Not sure if there are any readymade applications for using locally on your Mac. Maybe you can hack something together with jq + Bash + awk etc? These tools might also be useful: https://kantord.github.io/emuto/ https://github.com/antonmedv/fx Best of luck! - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago

• Ask HN: Local Tools for Viewing JSON

  In addition to jq (already mentioned) here are some other useful CLI tools for dealing with JSON data. Descriptions are directly from GitHub. Note: dsq also has a companion GUI app called DataStation[0] if you're looking for that. fx: Command-line JSON processing tool - https://github.com/antonmedv/fx dasel: JSON, YAML, TOML, XML, and CSV query and modification tool - https://github.com/TomWright/dasel dsq: CLI... - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago

• jless: a command-line JSON viewer, written in Rust

  There's definitely more features I want to add: Windows support, some way to filter data with jq filters (a la fx), yanking objects to the clipboard, being able to hide keys entirely, streaming data in, so you can peek at the start of gigantic file, maybe a way to extract a schema from a file (something like this), plenty of low-hanging fruit for performance. Support for different hierarchical data formats (YAML,... Source: about 3 years ago

• Tips on Adding JSON Output to Your CLI App

  Stepping just a little beyond regular ‘loop and filter’ is already difficult without consulting the manual each time — being exacerbated by the impossibility of finding those things in the manual without skimming through most of it. Making an ‘if’ for variations in the input structure is easily a twenty-minute job. Outside of the basic features, Jq's syntax is increasingly arcane and unintuitive. I actually... - Source: Hacker News / over 3 years ago

• Command Line Tools for Productive Programmers

  Js anonymous functions are valid inputs to the tool. When the transformation turns to be more complex than exptected I can just copy and paste what I've made so far into a nodejs script. You can also configure a .fxrc file to automatically import npm packages that you might find useful, shortcuts, or your personal functions.
