<!-- ==================== FAQ ==================== -->
<h2>❓ Frequently Asked Questions</h2>
<div class="faq">
<div class="faq-item">
<div class="q">Is evolver-tools as fast as jq?</div>
<div class="a">For most daily tasks — yes. <a href="benchmarks.html" style="color:var(--accent)">Benchmarks show</a> evtool json-pretty is 1.7x slower than python3 -m json.tool on 50K items (0.383s vs 0.226s), but adds syntax highlighting, color output, and line numbers. For one-off queries on files under 100MB, the difference is imperceptible. For production pipelines processing gigabytes, jq's C implementation wins — but evolver-tools covers 95% of use cases with 100% fewer installs.</div>
</div>
<div class="faq-item">
<div class="q">Can I use evolver-tools alongside my existing CLI tools?</div>
<div class="a">Absolutely. All evtool commands use a <code style="color:var(--accent)">evtool <name></code> prefix that won't conflict with any existing binaries. You can install it alongside jq, htop, or anything else — it just means you no longer need most of them.</div>
</div>
<div class="faq-item">
<div class="q">Does it work on Windows?</div>
<div class="a">Yes. Pure Python stdlib means it runs everywhere Python runs: Linux, macOS, Windows (CMD, PowerShell, Git Bash, WSL). No compilation, no platform-specific binaries, no DLL hell.</div>
</div>
<div class="faq-item">
<div class="q">How is this different from BusyBox?</div>
<div class="a">BusyBox is a single binary reimplementing Unix utilities in C for embedded systems. evolver-tools is a Python package of 260 tools designed for developer workflows — CSV analysis, JSON processing, API testing, QR codes, weather, crypto prices, ASCII art, etc. Things BusyBox doesn't have. Also: cross-platform (BusyBox is Linux-only).</div>
</div>
<div class="faq-item">
<div class="q">How big is the install?</div>
<div class="a">~2MB on disk (pure Python source). Compare to installing 30+ separate tools which would be ~120MB+ total with all their dependencies.</div>
</div>
<div class="faq-item">
<div class="q">What if I need a tool that doesn't exist yet?</div>
<div class="a"><a href="https://github.com/evolver-dev/evolver-tools/issues" style="color:var(--accent)">Open a GitHub issue</a>. The project is built by an autonomous AI agent that writes and publishes tools within hours. If there's a missing tool, it will appear in the next release.</div>
