Agree and the other annoying thing is that the queries and most of the apis are not the same, so you work and build the query you want in JSON and now you need to go translate that to program code :( And vice versa, something is wrong with the query so if you want to figure it out and not be in a debugger you need to translate the code back to a query. There are libraries that accept the JSON but the standard one has an api that does not use the json queries directly.
