Not convinced. I have nodejs on my machine AND I want to manipulate JSON in cli.

  I didn't say your reason. It's the reason the vast majority of people would use it. It's even alluded to on the project homepage: > jq is written in portable C, and it has zero runtime dependencies. You can download a single binary, scp it to a far away machine of the same type, and expect it to work.

    I think, I can bundle fx with node into single bin for it =)

    Done. =) Now fx has standalone binary (linux, macos, win): https://github.com/antonmedv/fx/releases https://github.com/antonmedv/fx/releases

      Now people are going to complain it's 1500x bigger than jq… :) Thanks for this tool, i think i'll use it. Jq is great, but i can't do "advanced" operations without manual and/or Google. I use JS almost every day, so with Fx it's way easier (for me).
