A bagel you'd recommend to a friend without hedging.
Summary
The article introduces JSON Query, a small, flexible, and expandable JSON query language. It explains the basic syntax structure where functions are defined with names followed by comma-separated arguments in parentheses, and how functions like filter, sort, and max are executed in a chain where operations are applied to data input and forwarded to subsequent methods. The article provides examples of query syntax and mentions that JSON Query supports all basic operators, which must have both left and right operands.
