In their own words
gojq
gojq is a free, MIT-licensed Go implementation of the jq command, with a library for embedding queries in Go products. The command-line tool applies jq-style queries to JSON, including filtering, field selection, updates, and multiple input values. It reads YAML and can produce YAML output. Integer arithmetic uses arbitrary precision for addition, subtraction, multiplication, modulo, and divisible division. The project describes gojq as portable and supports Linux, macOS, Windows, and self-hosted use. Documented installation routes include Homebrew, mise, Zero Install, source builds, and Docker images. Go applications can parse and run queries, compile them for reuse, and configure custom functions and iterators. Environment-variable access and module loading are disabled by default for library queries and require configured loaders. gojq does not preserve object key order and lacks some jq extensions, flags, functions, and regular-expression behavior.
JSON Forms
JSON Forms is a free, MIT-licensed declarative framework for embedding form-based web interfaces in applications. Developers define data with a JSON Schema and describe presentation with a UI Schema. The framework supplies data binding, input validation, and rule-based visibility. Bindings are available for React, Angular, and Vue, with React Material and vanilla renderers, Angular Material renderers, and Vue vanilla and Vuetify sets. Developers can add or replace renderers or build bindings for another framework through the core package. Validation uses AJV and can be customized by passing a custom AJV instance to the standalone component. The listed release is version 3.8.0, adding Angular 22 support. The project offers free community support through a public channel for basic topics, while professional support includes guaranteed response times, code examples, advanced topics, private NDA channels, and feature prioritization. Vue and Vuetify integrations are marked preview.
