Nice.

Some bits of the site are hard to read "takes a query and a JSON input" query is in white and the background of the site is very light which makes it hard to read.

Just about to read, but I had to change to dark mode to be able to see the examples, which are bold white on a white background.

If it's easier to use than jq, they should sell the tool on that.

Speed is good! Not a big fan of the syntax though.

If the author cares, I can’t read everything on this page. The command snippets have a “BASH” pill in the top left that covers up the command I’m supposed to run. And then there are, I guess topic headings or something that are white-on-white text, so honestly I don’t know what they say or what they are.

OP here: sorry about that, the light mode inconsistencies should be fixed now. Will continue to work on making the site design better as well!

Quick comment for the author.

Just added this new tool to arkade, along with the existing jq/yq.

No Arm64 for Darwin.. seriously? (Only x86_64 darwin.. it's a "choice")

No Arm64 for Linux?

For Rust tools it's trivial to add these. Do you think you can do that for the next release?

Another alternative is oj, https://github.com/ohler55/ojg. I don't know how the performance compares to jq or any others but it does use JSONPath as the query language. It has a few other options for making nicely formatted JSON and colorizing JSON.
