Lovely code :) i think the difference is mostly syntax, the concepts are not new, it's generators and yielding using a terse DSL, the rest is similar to other languages i would say. But yes i do use jq mostly fore exploratory and adhoc things where quickly testing things is important.

what part of jq is most confusing? it's a bit different but once understand some of the fundamentals it's extremely neat and terse

Once up on a time i wanted to output more than one file from jq so i did an ugly tar hack, finally cleaned up the code and pushed it here github.com/wader/tar.jq

Noice 📸 (but i feel the lack of jq disturbing!)

FLOSS Weekly Episode 842: Will the Real JQ Please Stand Up We’re back! This week Jonathan chats with Mattias Wadman and Michael Farber about JQ! It’s more than just a JSON parser, JQ is a whole scripting language! Tune in to …read more

FLOSS Weekly Episode 842: Will the Real JQ Please Stand Up

A rainbow Hilbert curve, a squiggly line that visits every cell in a square grid, starting red in the top left, working down then right to becine yellow in the centre, upward and then right to become green at the top right, down and left to be cyan in the centre, and continuing roughly clockwise through blue and the bottom right, magenta off the centre and red again in the bottom left. It's in a terminal and is the result of the command: jq -rnf curve.jq | rsvg-convert | wezterm imgcat

Source code for the jq script. It's about a page long and uses some pretty opaque variable names like s, sl, t0, dt and dtt. But it does have some text explaining the parameters to its main, recursive "hilbert" function, and we can see that it generates fragments of XML, specifically SVG. The full text is in the linked gist.

I made this yesterday. It draws a Hilbert curve in jq. I like jq. gist.github.com/weeble/265cb...

Hmm still confused. By default jq uses JSON for input and output so null will be null. Maybe you want the values filter to filter out nulls? ex:
$ jq -n '123, null, "null" | values'
123
"null"

As one of the jq maintainers: Care to add some context? 🤔😀

When you are, like, REALLY into processing JSON.

JSONPath (RFC 9535) might be the only "standardised" JSON query language, or maybe XSLT that i think also has some JSON support. But in my experience i want to do more than just select out things, i also want to transform etc so jq is my goto.

What part feels most confusing? happy to help!

is very nice and in combination with the inputs function one can aggregate stuff per file etc:
$ jq -n '[inputs | {(input_filename): .}] | add' <(echo 1) <(echo 2)
{
"/dev/fd/11": 1,
"/dev/fd/12": 2

Does that make jq the ffmpeg of JSON?
