I don't know if it's just me but I've found jq and/or json output of little relevance to my day-to-day command line usage. I will almost always reach for `python -c` before I reach for jq -- for better or worse.

That’s why I created jello[0]. You get the power of python without the boilerplate so the experience is closer to jq with python syntax.

Starred and bookmarked, will definitely reach for this the next time I need to work with json in a pipeline. Thanks for the link! Cool project.
