jq is by far the best developed and has the most intuitive syntax, but it doesn't have a formal spec for its language.

I have been maintaining https://github.com/kislyuk/yq, which wraps jq with a transcoder for YAML and XML.

Is there demand for a formal spec for jq? Would that lead to additional implementations? Serious question.

I would love to have a jq lib in every lang, which would probably require a spec
