Show HN: Jist searches JSON 3x faster than jq

7 points by adelamodwala1 16 hours ago

Hi HN,

jist is a JSON path search tool that feels like accessing a JavaScript object. It’s 3x faster than jq for the same use case, and over 2000x more memory efficient when searching a 3.3GB file for the last element (jist reads data in chunks so has constant space use).

It doesn’t implement pattern matching yet. A feature I’m looking to add is generating a full JSON schema using the same streaming approach so stay tuned!

Any feedback and feature requests are more than welcome
