#c_lang#jq jq is a lightweight command-line tool like sed, awk, or grep, but for processing JSON data. It lets you easily slice, filter, map, and transform structured data with zero runtime dependencies. Install via prebuilt binaries from GitHub releases, Docker (e.g., `docker run --rm -i ghcr.io/jqlang/jq:latest < package.json '.version'` to extract version), or build from source. This saves you time handling JSON in scripts, APIs, or files efficiently without heavy software. https://github.com/jqlang/jq
