JSON Terminal Tools

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation), developed in the early 2000s by Douglas Crockford, is a widely-used, lightweight data-interchange format, appreciated for its human readability and machine parsability.

 

JSON is crucial for data manipulation, querying data, API interaction, and configuration, often used in combination with terminal tools like jq for processing JSON data.
