faq is a tool intended to be a more flexible jq, supporting additional formats. The additional formats are converted into JSON and processed with libjq.

Supported formats:

  • BSON
  • Bencode
  • JSON
  • Property Lists
  • TOML
  • XML
  • YAML

How do you pronounce faq? The same way you would insult a particularly nasty structured document: "F♥︎♥︎♥︎ You".

For example usage, read the examples doc.

Installation

The master branch may be in an unstable or even broken state during development. Please use releases instead of the master branch in order to get stable binaries.

Behavior such as command-line flags may change causing shell scripts using faq to break after upgrading. jq programs are stable and should be considered a bug if it does not match jq behavior.

  • Statically compiled binaries are available on the releases page: just download the binary for your platform, and make it executable.
  • A Homebrew formula can be installed with brew install jzelinskie/faq/faq
  • RPMs are available via a COPR repository.
  • There's an AUR PKGBUILD for Arch Linux that can be installed with your favorite AUR tooling.

Development

In order to compile the project, the latest stable version of Go and knowledge of a working Go environment are required. A version of jq greater than 1.6-rc2 that includes the libjq header files must also be installed on the system.

git clone git@github.com:jzelinskie/faq.git
cd faq
