jid is an interactive command-line tool for incrementally drilling down into JSON data using jq-like and JMESPath filter queries. It provides real-time suggestions, auto-completion, and highlighted matching keys as you explore JSON from stdin or files.

Use cases

  • interactively explore large json files in the terminal
  • drill down into json api responses from curl
  • build and test jmespath queries interactively
  • extract a nested value from json with tab completion
  • incrementally filter json piped from a command

When to choose

  • you want to visually navigate json step by step instead of writing full jq queries
  • you need auto-completion and suggestions while filtering json
  • you want to test jmespath expressions against live json data

When to avoid

  • you need non-interactive scripted json transformation - use jq instead
  • you need to process yaml or other formats - jid is json-only
  • you need to modify or rewrite json, not just query it
