I’ve written a newer optimized 2026 version of this guide with a faster setup using Zinit + Starship and improved plugin loading.
This version avoids slow shell startups and works better with modern Zsh setups.

Syntax: cat <filename> | jq -c '.[] | select( .<key> | contains("<value>"))'
Example: To get json record having _id equal 611
cat my.json | jq -c '.[] | select( ._id | contains(611))'Remember: if JSON value has no double quotes (eg. for numeric) to do not supply in filter i.e. in contains(611)
