| Fact | jq | PerfectJSON |
|---|---|---|
| Data handling | jq processes streams of JSON values, with each expression running on each input value and producing zero or more outputs. | Parsing, validation, formatting, diffing and conversion run locally in the browser; edited JSON is not uploaded, and documents and preferences are stored in browser local storage. |
| Support | The project points users to Stack Overflow, the #jq Libera.Chat channel, and its Discord server for questions and discussion. | The site provides separate email contacts for feedback, bugs and feature requests, and for security and privacy questions. |
