> Side note: Ever tried Googling for "jq formatter"? Reading search results is a nightmare since jq itself is, among other things, a formatter.

That’s what I thought too, when I read the title. To clarify: This tool formats jq commands, not JSON itself.

Which makes sense because jq, with no options, acts as a formatter by default. (it's about 50% of my jq usage).

While it doesn’t help much for search in this case, the more specific term is “pretty-printer”.
