The promise +of this approach is that you just learn a simple language once, and you can +then apply it to vastly different aspects of your user interface, with the +same keybindings doing different things in different contexts, in sensible +and predictable ways.

However, being a command-line tool like sed, the +feedback for writing queries and seeing their results is a discrete +process and not live. + +When working with Emacs, we are used to good auto-completion and live +feedback. Formerly, this was mostly done with static input, but with +modern completion frameworks like Ivy and Counsel, this can be done +with dynamic inputs, as well. + +counsel-jq is a package with which you can quickly test queries and +traverse a complex JSON structure whilst having live feedback.
