I have never heard of “jq”. Oh my goodness. Your comment may have just changed my life. I cannot emphasize enough how many times I have needed a tool like this (and, yes, shame on me for not making a better effort to find one). Thank you!
Yeap the syntax and semantics is quite different to other languages and it really took me a long time and deep understanding to really appreciate how expressive and damn well designed it is.
