Twig

Overview

Twig is a terminal-based JSON explorer designed for developers who deal with large, complex nested data structures. Unlike simply cating a file or piping to jq, Twig provides an interactive, Miller-columns style navigation interface (similar to macOS Finder) directly in your terminal.

Key Features

• Interactive Navigation: Traverse deep JSON structures with arrow keys.
• Privacy First: Everything runs locally; no data leaves your machine.
• Fast: Handles large JSON files with ease.
• Search: Built-in search for keys and values.

I built this because I was tired of getting lost in 10,000-line JSON responses from APIs. jq is powerful but hard to “browse” with. Twig bridges that gap.
