Show HN: Jq Play in the Browser via Web Assembly | Sep 2021
I, and many others, use jq play[0] a lot to craft queries.

However, jqplay.org sends everything to a back end behind the scene, so it can be slow for big input json, and not great for privacy.

Someone recently integrated jq compiled to web assembly in aioli.js[1], so I decided to make a jq play clone that runs in the browser.

It does not support sharing a query, but it's minimal, and does what I need for now.
