- atombender 8y agoThe name doesn't make it so. It defines a syntax and a single operator (nesting), but nothing else. You can't use it to "query" arbitrary data sources in the sense that other query languages such as SQL do, since there are no operators, functions, subqueries/arbitrary joins etc. It's an alternative to REST, not SQL.
