fq is inspired by the well known jq tool and language and allows you
to work with binary formats the same way you would using jq. In
addition it can also present data similar to a hex viewer, transform,
slice and concatenate binary data, supports nested formats and has an
interactive REPL with auto-completion.
It was originally designed to query, inspect and debug codecs and
metadata in media files and containers like mp4, flac, mp3, jpeg. But
has since been extended to support a variety of formats like
executables, packet captures including TCP reassembly and
serialization formats like ASN1 BER, Avro, CBOR, protobuf and a lot
more.
In summary it aims to be something like jq, hexdump, dd and gdb
combined into one.
