aq

Extend jq for any data format. Currently supports JSON, TOML, and YAML.

Getting started

Install aq using Cargo.

cargo install aq-cli

Example usage

Filters are passed directly to jq but you must specify the input and output data format. For example with an input of TOML and output of JSON.

$ echo '[foo.bar]\nfield = 1337' | aq -i toml -o json '.foo'

{
  "bar": {
    "field": 1337
  }
}

If not provided, the output format defaults to the input format. Additionally, you can use j for JSON, t for TOML, and y for YAML for maximum brevity.

$ echo '[foo.bar]\nfield = 1337' | aq -it '.foo'

[foo]
field = 5
