# jq
`jq` is a lightweight and flexible command-line JSON processor akin to `sed`,`awk`,`grep`, and friends for JSON data. It's written in portable C and has zero runtime dependencies, allowing you to easily slice, filter, map, and transform structured data.
## Documentation
- **Official Documentation**: [jqlang.github.io/jq](https://jqlang.github.io/jq)
- **Try jq Online**: [jqplay.org](https://jqplay.org)
## Installation
### Prebuilt Binaries
Download the latest releases from the [GitHub release page](https://github.com/jqlang/jq/releases).
### Docker Image
Pull the [jq image](https://github.com/jqlang/jq/pkgs/container/jq) to start quickly with Docker.
### Building from source
#### Dependencies
- libtool
- make
- automake
- autoconf
#### Instructions
```console
git submodule update --init # if building from git to get oniguruma
autoreconf -i # if building from git
./configure --with-oniguruma=builtin
make -j8
make check
sudo make install
```
Build a statically linked version:
```console
make LDFLAGS=-all-static
```
If you're not using the latest git version but instead building a released tarball (available on the release page), skip the `autoreconf` step, and flex or bison won't be needed.
##### Cross-Compilation
For details on cross-compilation, check out the [GitHub Actions file](.github/workflows/ci.yml) and the [cross-compilation wiki page](https://github.com/jqlang/jq/wiki/Cross-compilation).
