FAQ
Why is jq-front so slow?
It is because it’s written as a bash script and creates quite a lot of process an input file. If somebody starts a project to rewrite this in Java, for instance, I would be contributing to it!
How is error handling designed?
jq-front is designed and implemented so that it stops processing on errors.
However, due to the specification of bash, if you use command substitution in templating and an inner call occurs an error, it CANNOT stop.
Except for that, if you think it should stop but it doesn’t, please file a ticket here.
On errors, you should see an output like following.
