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] :)

jq 1.7 Released
So just picking Java https://github.com/eiiches/jackson-jq
> jackson-jq aims to be a compatible jq implementation. However, not every feature is available; some are intentionally omitted because thay are not relevant as a Java library; some may be incomplete, have bugs or are yet to be implemented.
Where JMESPath has fully compliant 1st party implementations in Python, Go, Lua, JS, PHP, Ruby, and Rust and fully compliant 3rd party implementations in C++, Java, .NET, Elixer, and TS.
Having a spec and a test suite means that a all valid JMESPath programs will work and work the same anywhere you use it.
