gojq
A pure Go implementation of jq for parsing, filtering, and transforming JSON and YAML data.
What is gojq?
gojq is a pure Go implementation of the jq command-line JSON processor. It parses, filters, and transforms JSON and YAML data using the jq query language, offering a portable alternative with additional features like arbitrary-precision integer arithmetic and YAML support. It solves the need for a dependency-free, embeddable tool for manipulating structured data in scripts and Go applications.
Developers and DevOps engineers who work with JSON/YAML data in shell scripts, and Go developers needing an embeddable library for programmatic data querying and transformation.
Developers choose gojq for its portability (no C dependencies), ability to embed as a Go library, support for arbitrary-precision integers, and YAML I/O—features that address limitations in the original jq while maintaining query compatibility.
