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] :)

How to troubleshoot yaml parsing error "did not find expected key"?
Install jq and yq, and wrap your commands with | yq -y ..

Memes are all cool and all. But this is your daily remaining that 10000! =
Confusingly there is another project called yq that does exactly what you're suggesting and it's a preprocessor that converts yaml to json and then used jq. https://github.com/kislyuk/yq

Yq is a portable yq: command-line YAML, JSON, XML, CSV and properties processor
I personally find the yq tool from https://github.com/kislyuk/yq much more useful: it has all the same options and formats as `jq` (as it's really a wrapper around jq). Rather than the `yq` in the OP here where only partial functionality exists.

XML data from the API can be parsed and filtered with xq. There may be multiple ways to get it; first try the yq toolset which includes it.

Show HN: Xq – command-line XML and HTML beautifier and content extractor
There is also yq [1], which attempts the same for yaml, toml and xml. (And confusingly also contains a binary named "xq" for querying xml, however with a different syntax)
