jnv

Why we included this project

jnv is a terminal tool for exploring JSON interactively. Instead of running jq and reading raw output, you type a filter and see the result update as you go, with syntax highlighting and autocomplete for common jq patterns. It ships with its own jq engine (jaq), so you don't need jq installed separately, and it accepts plain JSON or JSON Lines from files or stdin. That makes it a good fit for debugging API responses, checking Kubernetes manifests, or working through log streams without leaving the shell. The TOML config lets you adjust keybindings, completion behavior, and UI styling to suit how you work.
