Installation ​

Fx is a powerful tool that comprises two primary components: a terminal JSON viewer and a JSON processor. The terminal JSON viewer is developed in Go and functions independently without the need for additional runtime dependencies. On the other hand, if you prefer the command-line JSON processor, which is designed in JavaScript, ensure that you have either Node.js or Deno installed.
