Modules

jq has a library module system, which was introduced in version 1.5.

(A jq module is essentially a file that consists only of jq filter definitions (defs) and/or module directives for including (include) or importing (import) other modules. See the link in the previous paragraph for further details.)

Currently, there is no common repository of jq modules, nor is there an official jq package manager, but this page provides a listing of some jq modules and further information about package managers. See also the following "issues" pages:

• List of publicly released modules?
• Enhancement request: integrated package manager
