history
Project history and usage
query-pipe, invoked as qp, filters and transforms JSON and newline-delimited JSON on the command line.
Project history
The upstream project presents query-pipe as a JSON query tool using SQL-inspired syntax and a recursive-descent parser. Its README retains Paybase references in installation and build instructions; these alone do not establish a dated ownership history.
Adoption history
The supplied package metadata records Homebrew distribution. The upstream README additionally provides a shell installer; it does not establish broader adoption.
How it is used
Pipe JSON into qp and supply a query using select, where, limit, or offset. Without arguments, it passes valid JSON through; --syntax displays the query guide.
Why package nerds care
Compiling with QuickJS produces a standalone command-line program without runtime dependencies, pairing JavaScript implementation techniques with Unix pipeline usage.
