jsonui is an interactive JSON explorer on your command line

jsonui's Issues

h/l scrolling

If i m not mistaken, there is no way to scroll in horizontal direction (with h/l or left/right). This means that if objects has long value, it overflows the window. There should be something to handle this.

Loving this app tho !!! so minimal I install it on every server I have access to xD

Binary releases

It would be nice for non-Goers to be able to get binary releases, you could do something like mentioned in this PR.

[idea] search feature

Another improvement could be a search feature. Search by key (?) and search by value. For instance I know the value and I want to figure out its path.

Add mininum height to path and minimum width to tree view

If the window size is under a certain size, the path and the tree view is too small to accommodate the buffer. A minimum size should be set to guarantee that it's still usable.

Null values are shown as "TODO" string

Null values are shown in a tree as "TODO" string.

To reproduce this:

echo '{"foo":null}' | jsonui

Output is:

┌─ tree ──┐ ┌─ text ───────────────────┐
│root     │ │{                         │
│└─ foo   │ │  "foo": "TODO"           │
│         │ │}                         │
│         │ │                          │
│         │ │                          │
│         │ │                          │
│         │ │                          │
│         │ │                          │
│         │ │                          │
│         │ │                          │
│         │ │                          │
│         │ │                          │
│         │ │                          │
│         │ │                          │
└─────────┘ └──────────────────────────┘
┌─ path ───────────────────────────────┐
└──────────────────────────────────────┘

Expect this:

┌─ tree ──┐ ┌─ text ───────────────────┐
│root     │ │{                         │
│└─ foo   │ │  "foo":  null            │
│         │ │}                         │
│         │ │                          │
│         │ │                          │
│         │ │                          │
│         │ │                          │
│         │ │                          │
│         │ │                          │
│         │ │                          │
│         │ │                          │
│         │ │                          │
│         │ │                          │
│         │ │                          │
└─────────┘ └──────────────────────────┘
┌─ path ───────────────────────────────┐
└──────────────────────────────────────┘

[idea] copy path to clipboard

It would be a useful feature to copy the path of a node to the clipboard. For instance I'm looking for a value, I find its node and I want to paste the path of the node to an application.

provide install via Homebrew

Project looks great, just thinking it would be nice to install with a package manager.

chokes on large json file

jsonui chokes on this 1.3MB file:

video.json.gz

Navigating up/down causes a 5 second delay while CPU sits at 100%. Memory usage is in excess of 400MB RSS.

Large ints are shown as double

$ <<command>> | jq .saveDate
1605792858032
$
$ <<command>> | jsonui
┌─ tree ────────┐ ┌─ text ──────────────────────────────────┐
│root           │ │1.605792858032e+12                       │

│               │ │                                         │

PageDown doesn't work

Research needed

[idea] support for json lines format

http://jsonlines.org/
the UI can help you navigate through each json line like pages in book ( or it can be just one type of view )
or by default it opens with the root element as a list.

I'll be happy to contribute.
