  Description     : jid on jq

 jiq Mentioned in Awesome jq (https://github.com/fiatjaf/awesome-jq)
 It's jid (https://github.com/simeji/jid) with jq
 (https://stedolan.github.io/jq/).
 .
 You can drill down interactively by using jq
 (https://stedolan.github.io/jq/) filtering queries.
 .
 jiq uses jq (https://stedolan.github.io/jq/) internally, and it requires
 you to have jq in your PATH.
 .
 If you prefer, there's an experimental, standalone, purely client-side
 web version of this on https://jq.alhur.es/jiq/.  Demo screencast-repo.gif
 .
 screencast-packagejson.gif Installation
 .
 go get github.com/fiatjaf/jiq/cmd/jiq
 .
 .
 If you don't have jq installed, follow instructions at
 https://stedolan.github.io/jq/download/ and make sure to put it in your
 PATH.  UsageQuick start• simple example (#simple-example)• advanced
 usage examples (#advanced-usage-examples)• with curl (#with-curl)simple
 example Execute the following command:
 .
 .
 echo '{"aa":"2AA2","bb":{"aaa":[123,"cccc",[1,2]],"c":321}}'| jiq
 .
 .
 Then jiq will be running. Now you can dig JSON data incrementally.
 .
 When you enter .bb.aaa[2], you will see the following.
 .
 .
 [Filter]> .bb.aaa[2] [
   1, 2
 ]
 .
 .
 If you press Enter now it will output
 .
 json [
   1, 2
 ]
 .
 .
 and exit (if you want all the output in a single line you can either call
 jiq -c or pipe it into jq as jiq | jq -c .).  advanced usage examples
 If you have ever used jq, you'll be familiar with these:
 .
 .
 echo '{"economists": [{"id": 1, "name": "menger"}, {"id": 2, "name":
 "mises"}, {"name": "hayek", "id": 3}]}' | jiq
 .
 .
 Now try writing .economists | "\(.[0].name), \(.[1].name) and \(.[2].name)
 are economists." or [.economists.[].id], or even .economists | map({key:
 "\(.id)", value: .name}) | from_entries with curl Sample for using RDAP
 (https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/weirds/documents/) data.
 .
 .
 curl -s http://rdg.afilias.info/rdap/domain/example.info | jiq
 .
 command line arguments -q : print the jq filter instead of the resulting
 filtered JSON to stdout (if you plan to use this with jq later)
 .
 Plus all the arguments jq accepts
 (https://stedolan.github.io/jq/manual/#Invokingjq) -- they
 will affect both the JSON output inside jiq and the output
 that is printed to stdout (beware that some may cause bugs).
