# JQ

## 1. What's it?

* jq is like sed for JSON data - you can use it to slice and filter and map and transform structured data with the same ease that sed, awk, grep and friends let you play with text.
* Available on Proxyman 5.24.0 or later

{% hint style="success" %}

* jq Filter is only available in the JSON Tab. On the Request/Response Tool bar -> Click on the + button -> Select JSON in the Request or Response. A new JSON Tab will be added.
  {% endhint %}
