I don't know what the term would be, mental model, but I just can't get jq to click. Mostly because i only need it every once in a while. It's frustrating for me because it seems quite powerful.
- loeg 7y agoI tend to only use it for relatively simpler queries than it is capable of. Ditto regular expressions. But I do not find myself missing advanced features of either very often. If I run out of my ability with jq, the manual page and playing around with the query sometimes illuminates the correct answer. And if not, it's often time (for me) to switch to using a less ephemeral program anyway.
