What is Xiki?
Xiki is a revolutionary command line interface and shell alternative for Linux, macOS, and Windows. It provides a new paradigm for interacting with structured data that is simpler and more flexible than traditional shells or GUIs.
The core concept behind Xiki is the idea of 'place-oriented computing'. Instead of operating on files and applications, Xiki allows you to navigate and operate on various kinds of data and systems as if they were places. For example, you can access an API or database as if it were a folder structure.
Some key features and advantages of Xiki include:
- Simplified navigation of APIs, databases, systems, and code
- Powerful data manipulation with intuitive commands
- Tab completion everywhere
- Nestable command structure
- Native handling of structured data
- Extensible through plugins
Xiki provides a unique user experience that makes interacting with data and systems much more natural. It has the potential to fundamentally improve how technical and non-technical users alike access and modify data. The active open source community behind Xiki is continuously expanding its capabilities as well.
Zsh, Warp Terminal, KornShell, win-bash, GNU Bourne Again SHell, Nu Shell, DASH Shell, Ergonomica, Closh, rc - a shell, fshell, Elvish, Janetsh, OverOS, eltclsh are some alternatives to Xiki.
