JQLite - The query language for JSON

Created a simple query language in Typescript,

however this is not any replacement for existing tools, but a side/learning project.

Features:

  • Basic query selection
  • Fallback Mechanism
  • Wildcard support
  • Array Slices
  • Multiple Key Selection
  • Key Omission
  • Single Key Omission
  • Functions
  • Comparison Operators
  • Conditions
  • Configurable

Here’s an example to get the name of all the products which has a price greater than 1500

$.products[?(@.price > 1500)][*].name

    Yeah, but the implementations are really sparse. JQuery sucked all of the air out of the room.

    I much prefer JSONPath, although it’s a little rough in some areas where JSON’s design doesn’t align 1:1 with XML and XPath.

    Do you use it? Is there a good CLI tool for it? Every few years I get mighty sick of jq and go looking for an alternative, and I haven’t found a good JSONPath implementation yet.
