Nice find. I think I'll try it out. Although I was hoping for a real SQL type experience. I don't understand why no one just copies SQL so I can write a query like "SELECT * FROM $json WHERE x>1".
Everyone seems to want to invent their own new esoteric symbolic query language as if everything they do is a game of code golf. I really wish everyone would move away from this old Unix mentality of extremely concise, yet not-self-evident syntax and do more like the power shell way.
It's so awesome when projects shout out other projects that they're similar to or inspired by or not replacements for. I learned about https://github.com/yamafaktory/jql from the readme of this project and it's what I've been looking for for a long time, thank you!
That's not to take away from JAQ by any means I just find the JQ style syntax uber hard to grokk so jql makes more sense for me.
