I love jq for many reasons: * it is very potent * it has extensive documentation, written more like parabolas and new-age sorcery than actually helpful content * it improves your search skills greatly, for many internet results try to give sense to its format * it gives great satisfaction after you've died-and-retried 300x a whole afternoon for a command you'll only need once. * it looks cool to use jq instead of [any language you're already familiar with]. Yes, I'm being sarcastic, yet honest. Note that I still use it and recommend it for simpler use cases though. _[shrug]_
