jl - json log viewer

a drop in replacement for less, with some different features

It is meant to read logs, and parse them line-by-line.

will try to parse each line as json, expecting this fields:

{
    "message": ...,
    "time": ...,
    "level": ...,
    ...,
}

only a compact time/level is shown, and the message. everything else is hidden in the normal view but can be searched ('/') or viewed by switching level of details (press 'D')

you can then search over the lines, and use the search results to make in-memory buffers to further search on
