Show HN: Parse complex json structures using a simple query syntax

github.com

I guess I should point out there is JSONPath, a kind-of-standard language with libraries in all languages, so unless this is doing a new, amazing, thing I don't see why someone should use it.

I, however, don't like JSONPath since jq[1] exists. But, of course, it is not the same thing as using a native library.

Thanks for pointing out JSONPath, didn't know it existed. Seems like a quite complicated query syntax though. Guess it's up to anyone to decide.

About JQ, I think it has a different target audience. It's more for command line things, while this is for parsing JSON with python.

Now that I've read it again, my comment seems rude and offensive. I'm sorry if it sounded like that, I'm not a native English speaker so sometimes these things happen (with me, personally, they happen a lot).
