Just tried out both of these for a large endpoint.
- FX "expand/collapse" functionality seems way better for exploring APIs whose shape you don't know
- jid is maybe marginally better for APIs where you have instant recall of the exact shape and need to rapidly query it
Overall, I like FX better because it provides feedback on your query faster.
I am grateful to the author(s) for creating it and I'll be using it instead of JQ whenever I need to wrangle APIs from the CLI.
