jq vs JSON Crack

jq is a free command-line processor for selecting and transforming JSON data. A jq filter takes an input and produces output; filters can be combined to access nested attributes, construct objects, gather results into arrays, or make other transformations. It reads whitespace-separated JSON values and writes serialized results separated by whitespace. Each expression runs on each input value and may produce zero or more outputs. For very large inputs, the --stream option parses incrementally. Output options include compact, raw, ASCII, sorted-key, and colored forms. Written in portable C, jq has no runtime dependencies, and a standalone binary can be copied to another machine of the same type. Standalone executables are available for Linux, macOS, and Windows, with packages listed for Linux distributions and package managers including Homebrew, MacPorts, winget, Scoop, and Chocolatey. A Docker image is also available. Release binaries have SHA-256 checksums, and signed release artifacts use jq release keys. The code is licensed under MIT; the documentation uses CC-BY-3.0.

JSON Crack is a free online tool for turning JSON, YAML, CSV, and XML into graph or tree views. Users can supply data through an editor, a file upload, or a URL, then export visualizations as PNG, JPEG, or SVG. It also converts between formats, formats JSON, and validates JSON, YAML, and CSV. Developers can generate TypeScript interfaces, Go structs, Rust serde, and JSON Schema; schema utilities validate schemas, create mock data, and generate schemas from supported data formats. Other tools include JWT decoding, data randomization, jq execution, and JSONPath commands. A VS Code extension provides visualization in the editor, and embedding options include an iframe widget, postMessage API, and jsoncrack-react package. The maker says editor data is processed in the browser and not stored on its servers, while its privacy policy allows usage-data and cookie collection and possible Google Analytics use. The stated capacity is approximately 300 KB, varying with data complexity and hardware. Premium features have moved to ToDiagram.com; prior subscribers can use the same credentials there.
