ronq

ronq

ronq is a CLI utility for working with RON (Rusty Object Notation) files, similar to jq for JSON.

Features:

• Extract values using keys and indices, e.g., users[0].id
• Supports reading from stdin or from a file
• Colorful and readable output
• Navigate nested RON structures easily

Installation:

cargo install ronq

Usage:

Reading a RON file:

rq -f example.ron

Accessing a key:

rq users -f example.ron

Accessing nested keys and list elements:

rq users[0].id -f example.ron

Reading from stdin:

cat example.ron | rq users[0].username

Arguments:

• -f, --file <FILE> — path to the RON file (defaults to stdin)
• <key> — optional path to a key or element. Use [index] for arrays and . for nested fields

Example RON file:

(
    users: [
        (
            id: 1,
            username: "alice",
            score: 123.45
        ),
        (
            id: 2,
            username: "bob",
            score: 67.89
        )
    ]
)

Example commands:

rq users -f example.ron
rq users[0].username -f example.ron
rq users[1].score -f example.ron
