Fx will automatically convert YAML to JSON. The npm version of fx also supports YAML and provides YAML.parse and YAML.stringify functions.

Fx - terminal JSON viewer.

I've taken fx back to the drawing board and completely rewritten it from the ground up. Excited to share what's new:

1. 🚀 Going Big: fx now gracefully handles even the most massive JSON files.
2. 🌈 A New TUI Look: Dive deep into your data with a revamped terminal interface—now with themes!
3. 🐾 Swift Navigation with Dig Fuzzy Search: Feeling lost in JSON? Just type . and navigate with ease.
4. 🔍 Powerful Regex Search: Scan across your entire JSON content with precision.
5. 📜 Elegant Long String Wraps: No more cut-offs. Your strings wrap beautifully now.
6. ✏️ All Things JSON: Added love for comments, trailing commas, and JSON streams.

Pouring my heart and soul into this rewrite has been a journey to make fx faster and more powerful. If you find value in what I've crafted and want to support its future, consider sponsoring on GitHub. 🙏

Would love to hear your thoughts and feedback!
