There's https://github.com/itchyny/gojq which is pretty popular, even GitHub CLI embeds it for their --jq filter.

A reimplementation of jq in golang supports reading yaml and, of course, emits json: https://github.com/itchyny/gojq#:~:text=supports%20reading%2... That one is likely more relevant than yq since folks in the json ecosystem are far more…

Yeap i've talked to itchyny quite a lot about various changes https://github.com/itchyny/gojq/issues/153 and also upstreamed quite a lot https://github.com/itchyny/gojq/issues?q=author%3Awader like custom iterators (to allow eval, own…

heh, wait until one discovers that gojq < https://github.com/itchyny/gojq#difference-to-jq > accepts yaml input; so, if you happen to have a bunch of _almost_ structured data then some light sprinkling can turn it into yaml and then you're…

Some competition for https://github.com/itchyny/gojq . I had read somewhere that it was faster than jq - no idea if that's still the case.

I've been getting a lot of mileage out of https://github.com/itchyny/gojq#readme recently due to two things: its vastly superior error messages and the (regrettably verbose) `--yaml-input` option I also have…

gojq ( https://github.com/itchyny/gojq ) and fq ( https://github.com/wader/fq ) can read YAML and output JSON. But that won't nescessarily help, because other parsers can intepreret that YAML differently.

I use https://github.com/itchyny/gojq . I like `jq`'s functional style, but I don't like the way it breaks number precision (or used to). However, for deep `jq` selects I use `<file.json | gron | grep key -C n | norg` where `norg` is `gron…

This uses https://github.com/itchyny/gojq which is a pure Go re-implementation of jq. Can be used as a cli tool or as a library. Didn't know about this, very cool that it exists!
