An Introduction to JQ

If there's an API for working with data that you know well already, it's somewhat pointless to learn the (quite esoteric) jq one.

Just pipe curl to node (https://github.com/jareware/howto/blob/master/Replacing%20jq...) or Python or Ruby or whatever you already know!

Or use that language’s native HTTP client and cut out the shell middleman.

jq is much more terse. When I’m working in bash, I much prefer to write `kubectl get secret foo -o json | jq -r '.data | map_values(@base64d)'` rather than the equivalent Python.
