Evaluates input in real-time as you type, eliminating the need to manually execute commands for each iteration, which speeds up learning and debugging.

Integrates grep, sed, awk, jq, and yq in one interface, allowing seamless switching between different command-line tools without leaving the terminal.

Can be run in a Docker container with read-only mounts to prevent accidental file modifications, ideal for testing risky commands like sed -i as noted in the README.

Accepts input directly or via piping from files, catering to both ad-hoc testing and pre-existing data workflows, enhancing versatility.
