To A Man With `jq`, Everything Looks Like JSON

For everything else, there's yq, xq, and tomlq.
- I use all these tools so little that I have to relearn them every single time, making them much less useful to me than they would be otherwise.
  
  yq is a wrapper around jq iirc and has the same syntax, but it do yaml.
  Small disclaimer that i think there may be 2 tools known as yq and this is only true of one of them.
- And jc, apparently: https://programming.dev/post/7063427
One of our data providers gives us hundred megabyte json files. Whenever there is a problem with the data they request examples, jq is invaluable in those instances.
yeah, ls | while read file; do echo blabla $file; done
