**hawk** combines the simplicity of `awk` with the power of `pandas` for data exploration. Unlike traditional text tools that work line-by-line, hawk understands both structured data and plain text natively. Unlike heavy data science tools that require complex setup, hawk brings analytics to your terminal with a single command.

**Perfect for**:

- 📊 **Data Scientists**: Quick CSV/JSON analysis without Python overhead
- 🔧 **DevOps Engineers**: Kubernetes YAML, Docker Compose, log analysis
- 🌐 **API Developers**: REST response exploration and validation
- 📈 **Business Analysts**: Instant insights from structured datasets
- 🔍 **System Administrators**: Log file analysis and text processing

## ✨ Features

- 🔍 **Universal format support**: JSON, YAML, CSV, **and plain text** with automatic detection
- 🐼 **Pandas-like operations**: Filtering, grouping, aggregation, **and string manipulation**
- 📊 **Smart output formatting**: Colored tables, lists, JSON based on data structure
- 🚀 **Fast and lightweight**: Built in Rust for performance
- 🔧 **Developer-friendly**: Perfect for DevOps, data analysis, and API exploration
- 🎯 **Type-aware**: Understands numbers, strings, booleans with intelligent conversion
- 🔄 **Unified syntax**: Same query language across all formats
- 🧵 **String operations**: Powerful text processing capabilities
- 📊 **Statistical functions**: Built-in median, stddev, unique, sort operations
- 🎨 **Beautiful output**: Automatic color coding with TTY detection

### Why Choose hawk?

**🎯 For structured data analysis**, hawk fills the gap between simple text tools and heavy data science frameworks:

```bash
# awk: Limited structured data support
awk -F',' '$3 > 30 {print $1}' data.csv

# jq: JSON-only, verbose for analytics
jq '.[] | select(.age > 30) | .name' data.json

# hawk: Unified, intuitive syntax across all formats
hawk '.[] | select(.age > 30) | .name' data.csv   # Same syntax for CSV
hawk '.[] | select(.age > 30) | .name' data.json  # Same syntax for JSON
hawk '.[] | select(.age > 30) | .name' data.yaml  # Same syntax for YAML
hawk '. | select(. | contains("age=30"))' data.txt # Even works for text!
```

**🚀 pandas power, awk simplicity**:

```bash
# Complex analytics made simple
hawk '.sales | group_by(.region) | median(.amount)' sales.csv
# vs pandas: requires Python script with imports, DataFrame setup, etc.
```

**🔧 DevOps & log analysis optimized**:

```bash
# Kubernetes config analysis (YAML native)
hawk '.spec.containers[] | select(.resources.limits.memory)' deployment.yaml

# Log analysis (NEW in v0.2.0!)
hawk '. | select(. | contains("ERROR")) | map(. | substring(0, 19)) | unique' app.log
```
