Jinja2 live parser with database

A Jinja2 live parser based on the live parser written by Antonin Bourguignon (http://github.com/abourguignon/jinja2-live-parser) with :

• a database for saving templates and data
• a copy to clipboard button
• import of all netaddr filters as they are available in ansible
• support of json_query filter built over jmespath (same as ansible)

All you need is Python and preferably pip. Can parse JSON and YAML inputs.
