jq, but for HTML. hq reads HTML and converts it into a JSON object based on a series of CSS selectors. The selectors are expressed in a similar way to JSON, but where the values are CSS selectors.

jaq (pronounced like Jacques) is a clone of the JSON data processing tool jq. jaq aims to support a large subset of jq's syntax and operations. Jaq aims to provide a more correct and predictable implementation of jq, while preserving compatibility with jq in most cases.

jless is a command-line JSON viewer. Use it as a replacement for whatever combination of less, jq, cat and your editor you currently use for viewing JSON files. It is written in Rust and can be installed as a single standalone binary. Clean syntax highlighted display of JSON data, omitting quotes around object keys, closing object and array delimiters, and trailing commas. Expand and collapse objects and arrays so you can see both the high- and low-level structure of the data.

Parse and serialize JSON with ease. JSON is a very loose format where anything goes - arrays can hold mixed types, object keys can change types between API calls or not include some keys under some conditions. Mapping that to idiomatic Rust structs introduces friction.

This is the home of the tool called rq (record query). It's a tool that's used for performing queries on streams of records in various formats. The goal is to make ad-hoc exploration of data sets easy without having to use more heavy-weight tools like SQL/MapReduce/custom programs. rq fills a similar niche as tools like awk or sed, but works with structured (record) data instead of text. It was created with love out of the best parts of Rust, and is distributed as a dependency-free binary on many operating systems and architectures.
