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?

There are a ridiculous number of JSON query/path languages. Wish all the authors got together and harmonized on a standard.

Plus, I feel like most, if not all, higher level languages already come with everything you need to do that easily. Well except for go that requires you to create your own filter function.
