## What it is
A curated list of command-line tools for manipulating structured text data formats such as CSV, JSON, YAML, TOML, XML, HTML, and INI. It organizes tools by format and includes awk-like utilities, SQL-based tools, and interactive TUIs.

## Use cases
- find a cli tool to convert csv to json
- discover command-line tools for editing yaml files
- learn which awk alternatives support csv quoting
- find tools to query json from the terminal
- compare cli tools for manipulating toml and ini config files
- find a tool to extract data from xml or html on the command line

## When to choose
- you want a curated catalog of cli tools for structured text formats
- you need to discover tools for a specific format like csv, json, or yaml
- you are looking for awk-like tools or sql-based text processing utilities

## When to avoid
- you need a single tool or library rather than a list of options
- you need a gui or web-based data manipulation tool
- you need documentation for one specific tool rather than an index of many
