Integration with jq
Fuco1 opened this issue · 3 comments
jq is a popular tool to work with json. You can query/filter/transform the documents using a very natural syntax.
Would you be interested in adding some integration of jq to json-mode? I've written some functions for my personal use and I think this mode could benefit from it, I'm OK with doing the work and cleaning them up for a PR. Obviously it depends on having jq installed but I think it's not extremely out of scope for this project---many major-modes integrate external tools into Emacs after all.
@Fuco1 nice idea. My feeling is that it's probably better to keep json-mode light, and add jq support as a separate package that depends on json-mode. What do you think about that?
In the meantime I've found this https://github.com/ljos/jq-mode which I think covers it. Maybe a mention in the readme would be enough, I've been using it and it is pretty solid.
Nice, thanks!
