JQ Variables

Overview

Implemented custom JQ variable support, enabling users to define and reuse variables in JQ expressions for cleaner, more maintainable data transformations.

Key Features

• Variable Declaration: Define named variables for reuse
• Improved Readability: Break complex expressions into manageable pieces
• Reduced Duplication: Reference variables multiple times
• Easier Debugging: Inspect intermediate results
• Better Maintainability: Update logic in one place

Example

{
  "variables": {
    "userId": ".user.id",
    "userName": ".user.name"
  },
  "expression": "{id: $userId, name: $userName}"
}

Technical Approach

• Custom JQ expression parser
• Variable scope management
• Integration with existing JQ executor
• Validation and error handling
