jqp is a TUI tool that lets you explore with JSON objects in the terminal. It is essentially a terminal playground that allows you to manipulate JSON data quickly.
You can use it to run jq queries interactively. If no query is provided, the interface will prompt you for one.
The command accepts an optional query argument which will be executed against the input JSON or newline-delimited JSON (NDJSON). You can provide the input JSON or NDJSON either through a file or via standard input (stdin).
Its primary feature is interactive filtering, letting users modify and extract specific JSON data using the same query language as jq. Other features include syntax highlighting, automatic formatting and executing multiple queries interactively, seeing results instantly.
jqp helps when you are working with APIs, logs, or any JSON data source directly in the terminal.
