Comment on Show HN: Npm module that makes easy to convert JSON to CSV

Comments

Converting JSON to CSV is a usable/good way when analysing NoSQL data. However I'm trying try find since a while a data analysis/query tool for JSON data itself. I saw that mixpanel made a query tool/language called JQL (JavaScript query language) which seems nice. Also RQL (rethink query language) seems nice too. But I can't​ find a simple tool in which I can import my JSON data and query it. It should be similar to SQLite-browser. Simply import your CSV/JSON file, and query it.

(I work at Mixpanel)

Honestly you could probably write a quick pipeline to dump your json data into Mixpanel and then use JQL -- it would be a little hacky but if you have less than a few million rows it shouldn't be too much work (and would still be free at that volume).

What you think about this syntax https://github.com/mmckegg/json-query?
