I haven't played with this yet, but it looks really handy. I deal with much more JSON on the command line than I'd like, so I think having both a single library and command line tool to reshape that data will make that much easier. I've used jq a few times, but when I want to move a little beyond what it does I usually end up writing a Python script. Hopefully this will make that transition smoother.
Haha, I'm all for console usage, but let me tell you, there's nothing quite like that feeling of moving a working spec into a dedicated application with exception handling, logging, etc. :)
