I'll say it again, Visidata is one my favorite new CLI/TUI tools over the last few years. It makes it extremely easy to explore/modify structured data in the terminal. In the 2.9.1 release, they added support for: - window fu

I would add VisiData to that list. It is more suited for tabular data, but it can be used to explore large nested data. I find it is a good starting place to explore json data I'm not familiar with. I will also sometimes flatten the

Thanks Will for creating Rich. I'm also a big fan of Rich. Are there any plans to make it easy to generate the Rich tables from the command line? Such as from CSV, TSV, JSON/L, or even SQLite databases?

Second this recommendation for the terminal. For my CLI toolbox, VisiData is my favorite. I find VisiData is great for quickly exploring and querying data from the CLI. It can handle many types of files (SQLite, CSV, TSV, Excel, JSON, YAM

By analogy csvkit is to visdata as sed is to vim. Visdata is an interactive tool and you can quickly explore/edit data directly. While csvkit is batch oriented. Visidata can be used in a batch way, but that is not its strength. I pref
