  <p>Is there a <code>jq</code> command line tool or wrapper which lets you pipe output into it and interactively explore <code>jq</code>, with the JSON input in one pane and your interactively updating result in another pane, similar to <code>jmespath.terminal</code> ?</p>
  
  <p>I'm looking for something similar to the JMESPath Terminal <code>jpterm</code><br>

  <p>I found this project <code>jqsh</code> but it's not maintained and it appears to produce a lot of errors when I use it.<br>

  <p>I've used <a href="https://jqplay.org/" rel="noreferrer">https://jqplay.org/</a> and it's a great web based <code>jq</code> learning tool. However, I want to be able to, in the shell, pipe the json output of a command into an interactive <code>jq</code> which allows me to explore and experiment with <code>jq</code> commands.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
