json-tui – JSON terminal UI

json-tui is a JSON terminal UI made in C++.

This is free and open source software.

Key Features

  • Interactive: Use keyboard or mouse to scroll/expand objects.
  • Colors
  • Responsive: Adapt to the terminal dimensions. Very long text values are wrapped on several lines.
  • Small: ~0.7MB all included. Zero dependencies.
  • The output is displayed inline with the previous commands. Meaning you can still see the json after leaving json-tui.
  • (Vim users): Also support j/k for navigation.
  • Table view: Turn arrays of objects into tables.
  • Cross-platform: runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
