I wonder so often about many new CLI tools whose primary selling point is their speed over other tools. Yet I personally have not encountered any case where a tool like jq feels incredibly slow, and I would feel the urge to find something else. What do people do all day that existing tools are no longer enough? Or is it that kind of "my new terminal opens 107ms faster now, and I don't notice it, but I simply feel better because I know"?

When initially opening the page it had broken colors in light mode. For anyone else encountering it: switch to dark mode and then back to light mode to fix it.

Fine in Firefox on Android. Note that the scales of the charts are all different, which makes them hard to compare.

Also, there are lots of charts without comparison so the numbers mean nothing...

I was a bit skeptical at first, but after reading more into jsongrep, it's actually very good. Only did a very quick test just now, and after stumbling over slightly different syntax to jq, am actually quite impressed. Give it a try
