Just tried out both of these for a large endpoint.

- FX "expand/collapse" functionality seems way better for exploring APIs whose shape you don't know

- jid is maybe marginally better for APIs where you have instant recall of the exact shape and need to rapidly query it

Overall, I like FX better because it provides feedback on your query faster.

I am grateful to the author(s) for creating it and I'll be using it instead of JQ whenever I need to wrangle APIs from the CLI.

FYI, fx has a jid-like mode that can be started by pressing the dot key. See this post[1] for more information.

Thank you! I had discovered it when I was playing around with it but forgot to mention that.
