Show HN: JSON Query(jsonquerylang.org)
I'm working on a tool that will probably involve querying JSON documents and I'm asking myself how to expose that functionality to my users.

I like the power of `jq` and the fact that LLMs are proficient at it, but I find it right out impossible to come up with the right `jq` incantations myself. Has anyone here been in a similar situation? Which tool / language did you end up exposing to your users?

Nice work with a jq-esque feel. Website is cut on mobile devices though

Maybe JS directly?

Nice. I work on something similar but for .net.

They have an implementation for .net https://jsonquerylang.org/implementations/#net

Interesting. But looks like it require JSON object. My query language works on top of Linq so it make it compatible with ORMs, IEnumerable and IQueryable.

I hate jq as much as the next guy but it’s ubiquitous and great for this sort of thing. If you want a single path style query language I’d highly recommend JsonPath. It’s so much nicer than jq for “I need every student’s gpa”.

not to be confused with jq for querying json?
