Recently, I’ve been interested in the DuckDB project (like a SQLite geared towards data applications). And one of the amazing features is that it has many data importers included without requiring extra dependencies. This means it can natively read and parse JSON as a database table, among many other formats.

    Cool, so jq but using sql instead of custom syntax. I wonder if it can output to plain text. That is what I usually use jq for.

      jq is mot custom syntax though, it is just JSONPath standarsld. Which is also used to query JSON in JSON fields in MySQL for instance.

    That’s neat! Reminds me of steampipe which provides a sql interface to apis. You can also use it for csv, json and yaml.

    Nice thing about steampipe is that it can look like a postres db to any sql client.

    DuckDB have been promoting hard these last few weeks. I saw them on HN a few days ago, and now here.
