yamafaktory/jql: README-based editorial guide

yamafaktory/jql describes itself in the README as "A JSON Query Language CLI tool". This article keeps to facts that can be checked in the repository. Stars, forks, and promotional badges are signals of attention, not proof of quality. Under "README", the README says: jql is a JSON Query Language tool built with Rust 🦀.. That establishes the project's stated boundary, not a production test.

The README's "📜 Philosophy" section gives a useful starting point for deciding whether the project fits: 🍰 Eat JSON as input, process, output JSON back. If that problem is not yours, popularity is a poor reason to adopt it. Project names, commands, and component names are kept as written so a reader can return to the primary source without guessing at terminology. Another checkable README item is: 🍰 Eat JSON as input, process, output JSON back. It can shape a first test, but it does not replace testing in the intended environment.

The operating model is spread across sections such as "🛠️ Usage". The source evidence includes: To make a selection from a JSON input, jql expects a query as a sequence of tokens.. This article does not turn missing architecture, performance, or security details into claims. A real deployment still needs a look at the repository layout, configuration files, and release history.

Start installation from the README's documented entry point. A command that can be checked in the source is: cargo install jql When the README contains no runnable command, this article does not invent one. Open its "🚀 Installation" section and confirm system dependencies, default ports, and first-run initialization before using a public server.

Daily operation depends on the project's own documentation. In "🛠️ Usage", the README notes: To be fully compliant with the JSON format, jql always expect key selectors to be double-quoted, see The JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) Data Interchange Format.. Configuration files, environment variables, permissions, and data paths are included only when the source makes them explicit. Anything unstated should be tested in an isolated environment with a recoverable configuration copy. The same source also notes: 🍰 Eat JSON as input, process, output JSON back.
