    Seeing this news today, I decided to give jq another try and ended up discovering jq-mode [1] for emacs. It doesn't just support jq filter file editing, it supports jq in org-mode and something else called 'jq-interactively'. This interactive mode allows you to apply jq interactively on a JSON or YAML (with yq) buffer. The buffer contents become the filtered value when you finish editing the jq filter with a return. This is especially impressive to see in yaml files.

    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.
