README
[`jless`](https://jless.io) is a command-line JSON viewer. Use it as a
replacement for whatever combination of `less`, `jq`, `cat` and your
editor you currently use for viewing JSON files. It is written in Rust
and can be installed as a single standalone binary.
[](https://github.com/PaulJuliusMartinez/jless/actions/workflows/ci.yml)
### Features
- Clean syntax highlighted display of JSON data, omitting quotes around
object keys, closing object and array delimiters, and trailing commas.
- Expand and collapse objects and arrays so you can see both the high-
and low-level structure of the data.
- A wealth of vim-inspired movement commands for efficiently moving
around and viewing data.
- Full regex-based search for finding exactly the data you're looking
for.
`jless` currently supports macOS and Linux. Windows support is planned.
