history

Project history and usage

jnv is a Rust terminal tool for navigating JSON with an interactive viewer and jq-style filter editor. Its README says it uses jaq for filter evaluation and was inspired by jid and jiq, placing it in the family of interactive JSON exploration tools rather than one-shot JSON processors.

Project history

The GitHub repository was created in March 2024, followed by v0.1.0 on March 19, 2024. Releases through 2024 and 2025 added packaged binaries for macOS, Linux, and Windows, while the README documents package-manager installation routes including Homebrew, MacPorts, Nix, conda-forge, and Cargo.

Adoption history

jnv's adoption path is unusually package-manager-forward for a young CLI: the README includes Repology packaging status and first-class install snippets for several ecosystems. Homebrew core packaging and other package-manager entries make it easy to try as a jq-adjacent interactive viewer.

How it is used

Users pipe JSON into jnv or pass a JSON file, edit a jq filter interactively, inspect the resulting JSON tree, fold and navigate entries, and optionally write the selected result to stdout. The README calls out support for standard JSON and multiple JSON structures such as JSON Lines.

Why package nerds care

jnv is notable for combining the familiar jq query model with a terminal UI and bundling jaq so users do not have to provide jq separately. For package nerds, it is part of the wave of Rust CLIs that ship cross-platform binaries and land quickly in multiple package managers.
