Move over jq I found something easier: fx
You could try Xidel[1]. It supports JSON, XML and HTML using XPath/XQuery 3.1
It has some extensions to the standard that are pretty nice (JSONiq, CSS selectors, html “template” matching), but you can limit it to just standard XPath/XQuery if you like.
I recommend getting the nightly v .99 build if you give it a try, the stable .98 version is pretty old and I’ve had no issues with .99

GNU Parallel, where have you been all my life?
That should recursively list directories, counting only the files within each, and output² jsonl that can be further mangled within the shell². You could just as easily populate an associative array for further work, or $whatever. Unlike bash, zsh has reasonable behaviour around quoting and whitespace too.

Jj: JSON Stream Editor
What I miss from jq and what is implemented but unreleased is platform independent line delimiters.
jq on Windows produces \r\n terminated lines which can be annoying when used with Cygwin / MSYS2 / WSL. The '--binary' option to not convert line delimiters is one of those pending improvements.
