Fx is a command-line processing suite designed for the transformation, conversion, exploration, and visualization of structured data. It functions as a terminal-based utility that handles both automated shell pipelines and interactive navigation of complex, nested data hierarchies.

The tool distinguishes itself by integrating a JavaScript-based engine that executes user-provided logic to filter, map, or modify data fields within a sandboxed runtime. It maintains a responsive interface by decoupling data processing from the display loop, allowing users to explore large datasets through an interactive, recursive tree-view that supports custom key bindings and node expansion.

Beyond its interactive capabilities, the software provides a robust set of utilities for data normalization and format conversion, supporting inputs such as YAML, TOML, and raw log streams. It facilitates automated workflows by processing piped input streams and converting minified or unstructured text into human-readable, indented formats for efficient analysis and debugging.

Features

JSON Processors - Provides a terminal tool for exploring, transforming, and visualizing JSON data structures through interactive navigation or shell pipelines.
Interactive Data Exploration Tools - Navigates and inspects complex nested data structures directly in the terminal with an interactive interface.
Recursive Data Explorers - Provides an interactive terminal-based interface for navigating, expanding, and exploring complex nested data hierarchies.
Command-Line Data Processors - Executes custom transformation and filtering logic on data streams within shell pipelines.
Format Conversion Toolkits - Parses YAML, TOML, and raw log streams into structured data for consistent analysis and human-readable output.

jq is a command-line JSON processor and data transformer. It provides a functional query language used to slice, filter, map, and transform structured JSON data directly within a terminal. The utility functions as a data transformer that reshapes JSON input into different structures or formats based on declarative logic. This allows for the extraction and analysis of structured data from sources such as API responses and system logs.
