  • 0.2.0

celq 0.2.0, released by developer IvanIsCoding, is a lightweight command-line utility designed to filter and inspect JSON documents with the open Common Expression Language (CEL). Positioned in the Developer Tools / JSON Query subcategory, the program accepts piped or file-based JSON and applies CEL predicates—such as `items.filter(i, i.price > 100)` or `users.exists(u, u.active)`—to return matching objects, primitive values, or aggregates without writing custom scripts. Typical use cases include ad-hoc log analysis, CI pipeline validation, API response spot-checking, and preprocessing large datasets before ingestion into downstream services; operations teams can embed celq one-liners into shell chains to extract failure counts, while QA engineers can assert that staging payloads satisfy business rules expressed as concise CEL statements. Because CEL is intentionally side-effect-free, the tool guarantees read-only traversal and predictable performance on nested arrays and maps. Version 0.2.0 is the first public release, offering a statically linked Windows binary that runs without installation, supports pretty-printed or compact output, and returns POSIX exit codes for easy scripting. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
