项目历史

The README describes jqfmt as an opinionated formatter written after the author found long jq-heavy shell snippets difficult to inspect. Its implementation began from code taken out of itchyny/gojq's query parser because gojq did not expose the parser and AST walking API the author wanted.

采用历史

Adoption evidence is modest and package-manager oriented: Homebrew packages jqfmt from its v0.1.0 GitHub tag, and the input batch also records Nix packaging. Homebrew analytics for the formula showed 92 installs over the 365-day window reported by the formula API on 2026-07-01.

使用方式

jqfmt reads jq expressions from a file or standard input and adds line breaks around selected structures such as objects, arrays, pipes, and operators. It is meant as a readability tool rather than a replacement for jq itself.

为什么软件包爱好者会关心

The tool is notable because jq has many linters, wrappers, and JSON formatters, but fewer dedicated formatters for jq's own query language. jqfmt also illustrates a common small-tool pattern: extract just enough parser machinery from an implementation such as gojq to make a narrow CLI utility.

Related projects

• jqfmt is closely related to jq, gojq, jqjq, and other jq-adjacent utilities that parse or transform jq programs rather than JSON data alone.
