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?

I read the man page of `jq` and learned how to use it. It's quite well-written and contains a good introduction.

I've observed that too many users of jq aren't willing to take a few minutes to understand how stream programming works. That investment pays off in spades.
