You write queries as strings (e.g., `$.customers.where($.age > 18)`) and evaluate them against Python objects, JSON, or other data; the language includes a standard library of functions for grouping, filtering, and aggregation. It's designed to be extended with custom functions, making it useful when you need a safe, user-facing query interface without building a full DSL.\n\nThe package includes a REPL for interactive exploration and can load JSON files directly. It depends on pbr for build metadata and python-dateutil for date handling. The project is aging (last release 309 days ago) but supports modern Python versions through 3.13 and has no known security vulnerabilities.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need a safe, embeddable query language for end-user filtering or data exploration. The low install friction, permissive license, and lack of security issues make it a solid choice. The aging maintenance status is a minor concern\u2014suitable for stable, non-critical use cases; less ideal if you need active development or rapid bug fixes."},"id":"yaql","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/yaql","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/yaql.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/yaql/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-10-09","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"yaql","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"YAQL - Yet Another Query Language"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":317007,"position":7667,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"3.2.0"}
