Some projects that i work on:
https://github.com/wader/fq - query, display and slice binary and text formats using jq
https://github.com/jqlang/jq - query and transform JSON
github.com/wader/ydls - turn a media website into media file or podcast
👍 if you spend your days digging thru your own or others ppls broken, weird or even valid binary files i can recommend it :)

Lovely code :) i think the difference is mostly syntax, the concepts are not new, it's generators and yielding using a terse DSL, the rest is similar to other languages i would say. But yes i do use jq mostly fore exploratory and adhoc things where quickly testing things is important.

what part of jq is most confusing? it's a bit different but once understand some of the fundamentals it's extremely neat and terse

Noice 📸 (but i feel the lack of jq disturbing!)

Hmm still confused. By default jq uses JSON for input and output so null will be null. Maybe you want the values filter to filter out nulls? ex:
$ jq -n '123, null, "null" | values'
123
"null"

As one of the jq maintainers: Care to add some context? 🤔😀

JSONPath (RFC 9535) might be the only "standardised" JSON query language, or maybe XSLT that i think also has some JSON support. But in my experience i want to do more than just select out things, i also want to transform etc so jq is my goto.

No problem! happy to help and spread the word of jq 😬

Nice article! I noticed some of the JSON uses single quotes. BTW i can recommending reading thru github.com/jqlang/jq/bl... and if you want to digg deep the wiki has some great stuff like how assignment is implemented using path expression etc github.com/jqlang/jq/wi...
