i was just wondering the other day if there's an alternative to `jq` which uses Javascript syntax to filter JSON and there is! it's called `fx` https://fx.wtf/getting-started

@b0rk @indirect I wrote the npm `json` package ages ago as well: https://github.com/trentm/json https://trentm.com/json/#FEATURE-Conditional-filtering

In case that is also interesting.

@trentm @b0rk one significant appeal of fx for me is that it’s a single binary that doesn’t depend on node, so it can’t have trouble due to node version management

@indirect @b0rk Yup, fair. The TUI in fx looks really nice.
