Zed

Tooling for structured data

Like jq, but easier to learn. Default behavior is to search rather than transform. Uses ZSON as output by default, which is like JSON but typed. ZSON can be converted to binary or columnar formats for large datasets. Can manipulate data with iterators, count, aggregations, conditionals, sorting, etc. Open source.
