There's https://github.com/itchyny/gojq which is pretty popular, even GitHub CLI embeds it for their --jq filter.

gojq is also my favorite for two "day to day" reasons:

- the error messages are night and day better than C-jq

- the magick of $(gojq --yaml-input), although I deeply abhor that it is 10 characters longer than "-y"

It's worth mentioning https://github.com/01mf02/jaq (MIT) because it actually strives to be an implementation of the specification versus just "execute better" as gojq does
