Hey everyone!

I’ve recently started working with n8n and I’m getting familiar with the platform. When I used other platforms, I relied heavily on JQ, which saved me a lot of time and effort for specific data filtering and transformation tasks. I’m wondering if anyone has managed to run JQ within a node or by executing a command.

I tried a few bash commands but didn’t have much success. Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Hey @supertal , n8n has many core nodes allowing to work with JSON easily, for example Split Out, Aggregate, Summarize. etc. In addition, n8n supports the powerful query langage JMESPath.
