I want to like jq, but I think Simon is selling me on sqlite, maybe its just me but this looks readable, hackable, editable, memorizable. Everytime I try jq, and its 5 minutes fussing with it just to get the most basic thing to work. I know enough sql out of the gate to make this work off the top of my head

insert a json array directly into into sqlite with sqlite-utils.

A nice cheat sheet for jq. jq looks so nice, but it so quickly gets overwhelming on how to select what you want. I was able to make a jq contains query.
