Add fx

Take a look at fx 🔥

It's plain JavaScript cli JSON manipulating tool (alternative to jq) with standalone binary.

program | fx 'input => input.filter(x => ...).map(x => {a: a.x})'

Thanks but I'm trying to avoid Node.js command line tools, especially ones that duplicate existing tools. jq does pretty much everything this tool does and is written in C. Also, I'd question its general idea. When you have Node.js installed in the first place, you can just code whatever you need in there. A tool like jq is for situations when you can't or don't want to do that.

Main difference is what you don't need to learn new syntax. Of cause you can write whatever you want, even in C, bash, etc. fx has standalone binaries so you don't need nodejs.
I think using fx is much more pleasant and clear than jq (if you not familiar with this syntax)
