== Description == <!-- Describe the what the tool does, focusing on it's digital preservation value. Keep it factual. --> 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 present data like a hex viewer, transform, slice and concatenate binary data. It also supports nested formats and has an interactive REPL with auto-completion. It was originally designed to query, inspect and debug media codecs and containers like mp4, flac, mp3, jpeg. But has since then been extended to support a variety of formats like executables, packet captures (with TCP reassembly) and serialization formats like JSON, YAML, XML, ASN1 BER, Avro, CBOR, protobuf. In addition it also has functions to work with URL:s, convert to/from hex, number bases, search for things etc. In summary it aims to be jq, hexdump, dd and gdb for files combined into one. == User Experiences == <!-- Add hotlinks to user experiences with the tool (eg. blog posts). These should illustrate the effectiveness (or otherwise) of the tool. Use a bullet list. --> * [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJOq_b0eb-s Binary Tools Summit 2022] * [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Pwt5KL-xRs&t=1450s NTTW (No Time To Wait) 2022] = Development Activity = <!-- Provide *evidence* of development activity of the tool.
