This wiki provides supplementary documentation about jq.

If you want to learn to use jq, please head to the jq home page. There you will find an overview, a tutorial, and a manual. Here you will find a different manual, the jq Language Description that we hope to eventually replace the original manual with.

The supplementary documentation on this wiki is currently structured as follows:

• FAQ
• jq Language Description
• jq Cookbook
• Advanced Topics
• jq Internals

Users should also peruse the Pitfalls page.

As a rule, the documentation here follows the convention that:

• official releases are referred to in the m.n format (e.g. 1.3, 1.4);
• a version number such as 1.4+ means a (sufficiently recent) version after 1.4.
