Interactive Examples for Learning Jq
I found Jq to be difficult to use which is why Oj, https://github.com/ohler55/ojg is based on JSONPath. There still are a lot of options but it only takes a couple of help screens to figure out what the options are.

Building a high performance JSON parser
You might want to take a look at https://github.com/ohler55/ojg. It takes a different approach with a single pass parser. There are some performance benchmarks included on the README.md landing page.

A Journey building a fast JSON parser and full JSONPath
I like the "Simple Encoding Notation" (SEN) of the underlying library: https://github.com/ohler55/ojg/blob/develop/sen.md
- Oj Is on Tap
- SEN: Simple Encoding Notation
- The fastest tool for querying large JSON files is written in Python (benchmark)

FX: An interactive alternative to jq to process JSON
Another alternative is the oj app (ojg/cmd/oj) which is part of https://github.com/ohler55/ojg. It relies on JSONPath for extraction and manipulation of JSON.
- Go 1.17 Release Notes
-
OjG now has a tokenizer that is almost 10 times faster than json.Decode
I promise to add more examples but in the mean time there are the test files. The one for Unmarshal is https://github.com/ohler55/ojg/blob/develop/oj/unmashall_test.go
- The Pretty JSON Revolution
fx
- Bash/Zsh autocomplete for JSON fields
- Fx 32.0, now with YAML support too
- Fx JSON viewer now supports YAML

Jaq – A jq clone focused on correctness, speed, and simplicity
There's also this awesome tool to make JSON interactively navigable in the terminal:

Modern Linux Tools vs. Unix Classics: Which Would I Choose?
Using awk/sed to parse json seems to be using the wrong tool for the job.
As an alternative to jq with easier to remember syntax, see https://fx.wtf/
