jqplay-cli

jqplay-cli is a fork of the wonderful jqplay with a focus on local command line usage. Play with your JSON data without sending your private data to a third party server.

You can use the default web-based UI or a complete terminal-based UI, all without hitting the internet.

The web-based UI also has support for JMESPath expressions, making it a handy tool for exploring, in particular AWS APIs.
