Once loaded, the data is available as a python list or dictionary object named \u0027`_`\u0027. Processed data can be output as JSON, JSON Lines, bash array lines, or a grep-able schema.\n\nFor more information on the motivations for this project, see my [blog post](https://blog.kellybrazil.com/2020/03/25/jello-the-jq-alternative-for-pythonistas/).\n\n## Install\nYou can install `jello` via `pip`, via OS Package Repository, MSI installer for Windows, or by downloading the correct binary for your architecture and running it anywhere on your filesystem.\n\n### Pip (macOS, linux, unix, Windows)\nFor the most up-to-date version and the most cross-platform option, use `pip` or `pip3` to download and install `jello` directly from [PyPi](https://pypi.org/project/jello/):\n\n[![Pypi](https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/jello.svg)](https://pypi.org/project/jello/)\n\n```bash\npip3 install jello\n```\n\n### Packages and Binaries\n\n| OS                    | Command                  |\n|-----------------------|--------------------------|\n| Debian/Ubuntu linux   | `apt-get install jello`  |\n| Fedora linux          | `dnf install jello`      |\n| Arch linux            | `pacman -S jello`        |\n| macOS                 | `brew install jello`     |\n\n\u003e For more OS packages, see https://repology.org/project/jello/versions.\n\nSee [Releases](https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jello/releases) on Github for MSI p",
