Jq is really powerful but I think the bit it gets wrong is in array handling and filtering arrays. It is such a common thing that some syntactic sugar would be justified, but jq requires you to reach for map() and select() to do even the simplest stuff, and I can never remember if I should filter the `.array` or `.array[]`. Yq [1] syntax for that is much better, and yq can accept JSON files too. [1] https://github.com/mikefarah/yq https://github.com/mikefarah/yq
