Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing issues

Summary

Use jq instead of JSONPath for filtering JSON.

Why should this be worked on?

The syntax is more intuitive :

Action	jq	JSONPath
Get full data	`.`	`$.`
Get object property	`.name`	`$.name`
Get first array item	`.[0]`	`$.[0]`
Get first array item property	`.[0].name`	`$.[0].name`
Get first array item subproperty	`.[0].owner.username`	`$.[0].owner.username`
Filter array by item property	`.[] \| select(.id == 411)`	`$[?(@.id == 411)]`
Filter array by item subproperty	`.[] \| select(.owner.id == 1)`	`$[?(@.owner.id == 1)]`
Filter array by item property range	`.[] \| select(.stars_count > 0)`	`$[?(@.stars_count > 0)]`
Get property of array items filtered by property range	`.[] \| select(.stars_count > 0) \| .name`	`$[?(@.stars_count > 0)].name`
Sort array items by property	`. \| sort_by(.id)`	Feature missing
Filter and sort array	`map(select(.stars_count > 0)) \| sort_by(.id)`	Feature missing
Get property of filtered and sorted array items	`map(select(.stars_count > 0)) \| sort_by(.id) \| .name`	Feature missing
Filter array by item property via regex	`.[] \| select(.created_at \| test("^202[34]"))`	`$[?(/^202[34]/.test(@.created_at))]`

Etc...

Thanks
