dsh-json-query

Taming deeply nested JSON is tedious and error-prone, especially when you need to repeatedly read or mutate a specific node during a session. dsh-json-query solves exactly that: it exposes a JSON Pointer-based query and set interface so a single path expression can target any level of your data without mentally unwinding the entire object.

The plugin is a pure-Node implementation that runs entirely offline. It makes no network calls and depends on no external services, so its behavior is deterministic, latency is minimal, and your data never leaves your machine. Two core operations—query (read) and set (write)—cover the vast majority of everyday field-level JSON tasks, staying lightweight yet practical.

It is ideal for developers and data engineers who frequently manipulate JSON structures inside a local session: debugging API responses, tweaking nested config files, or performing quick field-level reads and writes on collected structured data—all with less boilerplate and fewer path mistakes.
