jless is a command-line JSON viewer. Use it as a replacement for whatever combination of less, jq, cat and your editor you currently use for viewing JSON files. It is written in Rust and can be installed as a single standalone binary. Clean syntax highlighted display of JSON data, omitting quotes around object keys, closing object and array delimiters, and trailing commas. Expand and collapse objects and arrays so you can see both the high- and low-level structure of the data.
