VUJE: interactive JSON digger

Helps you navigate JSON files in an interactive incremental manner with autocompletion. Especially useful when you have a large JSON file. The idea was taken from the jid project, modified and improved.

Here's how it works

What's special

• Emacs-like keybindings (without meta-key, though)
• Customizable separator
• Non-interactive mode

Installation

go get -u github.com/qoops-1/vuje

User Guide

Escaping characters

Characters that need to be escaped with "\" to be used as a part of JSON key:

• "["
• "\"
• "." or the separator that you choose with -d option

For example, when you want to query the key in {"this[k]ey.": 1} your query should look like "this\[k]ey\.". If you escape any other character the escape will be ignored and the character will be parsed as usually.
