#### jqp is a TUI for exploring the jq command line utility

jqp is a terminal user interface (TUI) for exploring the jq command line utility.

You can use it to run jq queries interactively. If no query is provided, the interface will prompt

newline-delimited JSON (NDJSON).

You can provide the input JSON or NDJSON either through a file or via standard input (stdin).

Usage:
jqp [query] [flags]

Flags:
--config string path to config file (default is $HOME/.jqp.yaml)
-f, --file string path to the input JSON file
-h, --help help for jqp
-t, --theme string jqp theme
