## What it is
jp is a single-binary command-line tool that renders bar charts, line charts, scatter plots, histograms, and heatmaps in the terminal from JSON or CSV input. It uses JSONPath expressions to select x/y values and requires no dependencies.

## Use cases
- plot  data in the terminal
- draw a bar chart from a  file
- visualize csv data as a line chart in the shell
- make a histogram from command line data
- quickly chart api responses in the terminal
- render a heatmap from  data

## When to choose
- you need quick terminal-based plots from JSON or CSV with zero setup
- you want a single static binary with no dependencies
- you're piping data in shell scripts or CI logs and want ASCII charts

## When to avoid
- you need interactive, GUI, or image-output charts
- you need highly styled or web-based visualizations
- you need to plot data from formats other than JSON or CSV
