Summary: A tool, language and decoders for working with binary and text formats

Description: 

TLDR: it aims to be jq, hexdump, dd and gdb for files combined into one.

fq is inspired by the jq tool and language and allows you to work with
binary formats in the same way. In addition to using jq expressions it
can also present decoded tree structures, transform, slice and concatenate
binary data. It also supports nested formats and features an interactive
REPL with auto-completion of functions and names.

It was originally designed to query, inspect and debug media codecs
and containers like MP4, FLAC and JPEG but has since been extended to
support a variety of formats like executables, packet captures (with
TCP reassembly) and serialization formats like JSON, YAML, XML, CBOR,
protobuf. In addition it also has functions to work with URLs, convert
to/from hex, number bases, search for patterns etc.
