GitHub - jqlang/playground: A jq playground built with Next.js (original) (raw)

playground

A jq playground built with Next.js. Test your jq queries against JSON directly in your browser. All jq queries and HTTP requests to fetch JSON are processed locally in your browser. Snippets are sent to the server only if you choose to share them.

✨ Try it out at play.jqlang.org!

How It Works

• WebAssembly-Powered: it integrates the jq-wasm package, a WebAssembly-based jq JSON processor for Node.js and browsers, with no native dependencies. This ensures that all jq queries run directly in your browser.
• Local Data Processing: Your JSON input is processed locally in your browser, ensuring your data stays private and secure.
• Shareable Snippets: If you share your jq query, a unique URL is generated on the server. Others can open the shared snippet, but the query will still run locally in their browser.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Node.js (>= 14.x recommended)
• npm or yarn package manager
• PostgreSQL (for storing shared snippets)

Running the App
