#### Browse and query large JSON files with jq, JSONPath, JMESPath & Pointer

jsonquery is a native desktop GUI for browsing and querying large JSON
files. It streams and virtualizes big files instead of loading them
whole, and lets you query with jq, JSON Pointer, JSONPath, or JMESPath --
pick a query engine (or leave it on auto-detect) and see results update
live in a tree or text view.

Also available on Windows: <https://github.com/nujufas/jsonquery_gui/releases>

Open files by drag-and-drop, file picker, pasted text, or URL. Query-box
autocomplete is available for jq.

## Enable snaps on Ubuntu and install jsonquery-gui

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

If you’re running [Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus)](https://www.ubuntu.com/) or later, including [Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)](https://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/features) and [Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseNotes), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.

For versions of Ubuntu between [14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes) and [15.10 (Wily Werewolf)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WilyWerewolf/ReleaseNotes), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include *snap* by default, *snap* can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for *snapd*.

Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:

```
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
