It wraps jq exploration in an interactive Go TUI rather than asking users to iterate only through shell history. ### Project history The project published v0.1.0 on 2022-09-19. Its README says it uses itchyny's Go implementation of jq, gojq, and its UI stack is built with Bubble Tea, Bubbles, Lip Gloss, Chroma, and clipboard support. ### Adoption history jqp moved quickly into package-manager channels after its first releases. The README lists Homebrew, MacPorts, Arch AUR, Snap, GitHub release binaries, and source builds. The v0.2.0 release notes included MacPorts documentation, clipboard support, and reverse section cycling; later releases added configuration, themes, cancellation of long-running queries, and input-panel toggling. ### How it is used Users can pipe JSON into jqp, pass a jq query argument, or load JSON from a file. Inside the TUI, keybindings cycle between query, input, and output panes, run filters, copy queries, save output, hide the input panel, and manage query history. ### Why package nerds care jqp matters in the jq ecosystem because it packages an exploratory workflow rather than another query language. It reflects the Charmbracelet-era wave of polished Go TUIs that made terminal tools feel closer to small interactive applications. ### Timeline - 2022: v0.1.0 release on 2022-09-19. - 2022: v0.3.0 release on 2022-10-02 added configuration, many themes, and query cancellation. - 2023: v0.4.0 release on 2023-01-07 added command history and Chroma style overrides. - 2025: v0.8.0 release on 2025-09-28 added a Ctrl-t input-panel toggle. ### Related projects - jqp is directly tied to jq and gojq, and the README credits jqq as inspiration. Its TUI dependencies connect it to the Bubble Tea, Bubbles, Lip Gloss, and Chroma terminal UI ecosystem. ### Sources - - - - - - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
