JSON/Javascript Toolbox

jtb is a simple cli app and a library to provide a simple way to add scripting capabilities to applications using Javascript (namely the goja javascript engine).

jtb does not aim to be a replacement for the NodeJS/NPM ecosystem, instead, it aims to be a middle ground between jq and node, one of the main goals is to simply the process of importing snippets of code from external sources, without exposing too much of the underlying system.

More often than not, jq is used in conjunction with bash to execute non-trivial tasks. Doing tree manipulation in bash is tricky to say the least. jtb was created out of my frustration while dealing with Yaml/JSON/Bash/cURL/kubectl to perform, trival tree operations (put node, replace node, delete node, save to disk).
