Maybe hijacking the thread, but if you prefer to stay in the browser give also a try to Virtual Json Viewer extension [1][2]. I developed it to navigate large json files at work and it also integrates JQ.
unrelated: this is my very first comment on HN, hurray!
I only saw your comment after a day and just tried your extension, it works great! I really like how much faster it is than JSONVue, and the JQ integration looks super useful; this is a really good start.
Oh and welcome to HN :)
