jq-in-the-browser

jq-in-the-browser is a JavaScript port of jq. Try it online

Instead of processing serialized data, jq-in-the-browser processes JavaScript objects. It is written from scratch and is relatively small. (~33 kB, ~6.1 kB gzipped)

Install

npm install --save jq-in-the-browser

Usage

import jq from 'jq-in-the-browser'

const query = jq('{"names": [.[] | .name]}')

query([
  {"name": "Mary", "age": 22},
  {"name": "Rupert", "age": 29},
  {"name": "Jane", "age": 11},
  {"name": "John", "age": 42}
])

Output:

{
  "names": [
    "Mary",
    "Rupert",
    "Jane",
    "John"
  ]
}

Comparison with alternatives

jq-web

• jq-web is an emcripten port of jq, thus it implements all of its features
• ... but it's also too big for many purposes (in the megabytes)
• jq-in-the-browser is written from scratch, but is more limited in features
• ... and also much much smaller :-)

node-jq

• node-jq is great, but it doesn't work in the browser.

something else?

If you know an alternative, feel free to create a pull request. :-)
