jq 1.7 Released
Another great alternative is JSONPath[1] which unfortunately not as widely supported and known despite being brilliant!
It's inspired by XPath so it's very familiar instead of a complete new DSL. The killer feature imo is the recursive key lookup so you can write `people..address` and it'll find all "address" keys that descend from "people" anywhere in the JSON. It's by far my favorite parsing language for JSON and I wrote an introduction blog on how to use it in JSON dataset parsing [2] :)
