jqplay

jqplay is a playground for jq. Please put it into good use.

This version runs entirely in the browser using jq-wasm - no backend required!

Development

To develop jqplay, you need to have Bun installed.

Install dependencies

bun install

bun run dev

Point your browser to http://localhost:8080/.

Build for production

bun run build

The built files will be in the dist/ directory.

Preview production build

bun run preview

How it works

This is a pure frontend application that uses:

• jq-wasm - WebAssembly-powered jq running in the browser
• Ace editor - Code editor for input/output
• Bootstrap - UI framework
• Vite - Build tool and dev server

All jq processing happens client-side in WebAssembly, so there's no backend server to maintain.
