QueryCat is the command line tool that allows you to use SQL (Structured Query Language) to query data in CSV, JSON, XML and various log files. The general idea is to bring well-known SQL expressive power and provide easy access to various kinds of information. You won't need to upload your text data into Excel or any database table - just query it as is with QueryCat!
It is designed to use pipeline mode to be able to process large amount of data.
INTO clause allows to write transformed data to popular formats.
The single binary file doesn't require any dependencies to be installed and simplifies installation (just download and use).
You can use it as library in your .NET application.
