Mastering Jq: Part 1
I know I might be a dissenting opinion here, but I can never wrap my head around `jq`. I can manage `jq .`, `jq .foo` and `jq -r`, but beyond that, the DSL is just opaque to me.<p>And every time I try to learn, I get lost in a maze of a manpage:<p><a href="https://manpages.debian.org/jq" rel="nofollow">https://manpages.debian.org/jq</a><p>I mean there are useful tips in there, but I rarely find what I need. I usually find it simpler to write a Python script (which ships with `json` because it's "batteries included") and operate on lists and dicts the normal way...<p>It's longer, but at least I don't need to learn a new programming language (if we can call jq that...)
