Firstmover goes to `jq` all these other tools might be great but honestly it might just be better to use the dev time to add features to jq.
For instance json is a subset of yaml, maybe internally jq they could use yaml libraries, consume either, output either json or input format by default and give me a flag for yaml output if I want it.
As a guy who does a bunch of devops and works with a bunch of teams to improve their pipelines etc. jq is a tool they all have and i always find in pipelines having to install the new jq flavor of the month every six months is terrible.

As it happens, gojq, mentioned elsewhere in this thread, adds this feature, and quite a few others. Jq has served the industry admirably, but there's always room for improvement.
