Not tested on a device yet. What that means
jq in Breadstick
Breadstick note
jq reads JSON from files and pipes in Breadstick's Terminal, including files in your Android folders once Device files is granted, such as a download in ~/Downloads.
Breadstick runs Debian's own jq package for ARM64, the build a Debian 13 computer with an ARM processor installs, so jq should behave as it does on a Linux PC. It is a command line program rather than an app with a window of its own: you run it by typing its command in Breadstick's Terminal, or in any terminal window on the Linux desktop, and it needs no Desktop or Floating session running.
Commands in the package
jq
Type it in Breadstick's Terminal to start the program.
Text and data tools work on files and pipes in the Terminal as on any Linux system, including files in your Android folders once Device files is granted. More in the docs: The Terminal.
About jq
From Debian's package description
jq is like sed for JSON data – you can use it to slice and filter and map and transform structured data with the same ease that sed, awk, grep and friends let you play with text.
It is written in portable C, and it has minimal runtime dependencies.
jq can mangle the data format that you have into the one that you want with very little effort, and the program to do so is often shorter and simpler than you’d expect.
From Debian's description of the jq package, under that package's license.
