Visually inspect JSON data from the terminal

This is the README file for a Linux terminal-based interface (TUI) called jinsp, which allows navigation through a JSON file's tree structure using Miller columns.

Build

To build the program, run make in the root directory.

Usage

To launch the interface, run ./jinsp <json file>.

The rightmost pane shows a flattened (read-only) preview of the currently selected element rooted at the position shown on the top line (initially the root element).

Navigation through the JSON tree structure can be performed using:

• Up and Down arrow keys to traverse siblings
• Left arrow key to go back to its parent
• Right arrow key or Return/Enter to start traversing its children

Other keyboard controls:

• q or Esc: quit
• /** followed by a keyword and Return/Enter: case-sensitive search starting from current position (Esc to abort input)
• n/N: navigate search results forwards and backwards, respectively
