sq Alternatives

sq is described as 'Free/libre open-source data wrangling swiss-army knife to inspect, query, join, import, and export data. You could think of sq as jq for databases and documents, facilitating one-liners like: sq '@postgres_db | .actor | .first_name, .last_name | .[0:5]'' and is an app in the os & utilities category. There are more than 10 alternatives to sq for a variety of platforms, including Linux, Mac, Windows, BSD and FreeBSD apps. The best sq alternative is jq, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like sq are mq, json-log-viewer, fx and Unquery.
