Show HN: JSON Query: A tool to query JSON data structures

For those that prefer a command line tool, jq has been around for a while and works very well. I can&#x27;t count how many times jq let me hack together a bunch of commands I normally would have had to write a small program for. e.g small script that pushes the latest semver tag from a github repo to a geckoboard text widget: <a href="https://gist.github.com/jdc0589/67df901f71d96b7649b4" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gist.github.com&#x2F;jdc0589&#x2F;67df901f71d96b7649b4</a><p><a href="http://stedolan.github.io/jq/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;stedolan.github.io&#x2F;jq&#x2F;</a>

Is this a GUI for jq?

The video looks like you are combining keys?<p>You could just do this with <a href="http://jsonunroller.appspot.com/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;jsonunroller.appspot.com&#x2F;</a> and grep.

Why such tools are more common on OS X?

XPath for JSON? Who would have thought of that! Now add namespaces and you reinvented XML 10 years later

Cool tool, nice work!

This changes everything. Good job
