2. [File input](file-input.md) - Delimited text, JSON, NDJSON, TOON, format detection, and nested data.
3. [SQLite sources](sqlite.md) - Read-only database browsing, table selection, and source queries.
4. [Elasticsearch sources](elasticsearch.md) - Elastic CLI contexts, ES|QL queries, index selection, authentication, and source limits.
5. [Keybindings](keybindings.md) - Navigation, search, sorting, filters, and column controls.
6. [Saved views](saved-views.md) - Save source options, column formatting, filters, sorting, and colors.
7. [Color themes](themes.md) - Theme files, palettes, and terminal color modes.
8. [Large files and schema discovery](large-files.md) - Indexing, schema scan limits, and operations that read the full input.

# Tview Browse delimited text, JSON, NDJSON, TOON 4.1, SQLite databases, and Elasticsearch in your terminal. Search, sort, filter, and hide columns, then save the view or export the displayed data. Tview is an independent Rust rewrite of [Tabview](https://github.com/Tabviewer/tabview). See [screenshots](https://github.com/commandzero/tview/blob/HEAD/screenshots/) for the interface. ## Install Install with [Homebrew](https://github.com/commandzero/homebrew-tools): ```sh brew install commandzero/tools/tview ``` Or install from crates.io with Rust 1.90.0 or later: ```sh cargo install tview ``` SQLite, saved views, and clipboard support are included. For Elasticsearch support, install with `cargo install tview --features elasticsearch`. See [installation](https://github.com/commandzero/tview/blob/HEAD/docs/installation.md) for supported platforms and build options, and [migration](https://github.com/commandzero/tview/blob/HEAD/docs/migration.md) if you used Tabview. With Elasticsearch enabled, `tview '.production.es://logs-*'` reuses an Elastic CLI context. See [Elasticsearch sources](https://github.com/commandzero/tview/blob/HEAD/docs/elasticsearch.md#elastic-cli-contexts) for current-context aliases, configuration, and authentication. ## Get started ```sh tview data.csv tview records.ndjson tview response.json --json-path /hits/hits tview records.toon tview examples/data/us-counties.sqlite3 tview - < data.csv ``` Move with the arrow keys or `h`, `j`, `k`, `l`. Press `/` to search, `f` to filter the current column, and `Enter` to read a full cell. Press `?` for help and `q` to quit. The [keybinding reference](https://github.com/commandzero/tview/blob/HEAD/docs/keybindings.md) lists all controls. Redirected output defaults to a text table. Choose JSON or JSONL explicitly: ```sh tview data.csv > table.txt tview -t data.csv tview -p 10 data.csv tview -t 10 data.csv tview data.csv --output json > rows.json tview data.csv --interactive --output table > selected.txt ``` `-t` / `--table-color` writes a colored table. Add a row count, such as `-t 10`, to limit the output after saved-view sorting. `-p 10` / `--preview 10` skips saved-view sorting and writes a colored preview in source order. Bare `-t` is shorthand for `--color always --output table`. The last command opens the viewer and exports your final view when you quit. Use a different output path from the input. JSON exports contain displayed strings, including saved-view formatting. See the [CLI contract](https://github.com/commandzero/tview/blob/HEAD/docs/cli-contract.md) for schemas, output behavior, and exit codes. ## Guides - [File input](https://github.com/commandzero/tview/blob/HEAD/docs/file-input.md), [SQLite](https://github.com/commandzero/tview/blob/HEAD/docs/sqlite.md), and [Elasticsearch](https://github.com/commandzero/tview/blob/HEAD/docs/elasticsearch.md) - [Saved views](https://github.com/commandzero/tview/blob/HEAD/docs/saved-views.md) and [color themes](https://github.com/commandzero/tview/blob/HEAD/docs/themes.md) - [Large files and schema discovery](https://github.com/commandzero/tview/blob/HEAD/docs/large-files.md) - [Contributing](https://github.com/commandzero/tview/blob/HEAD/docs/contributing.md) and [release process](https://github.com/commandzero/tview/blob/HEAD/docs/releases.md) The [documentation index](https://github.com/commandzero/tview/blob/HEAD/docs/index.md) lists every guide.
