You can devise a query language using JSON components (the one you showed was a SQL rip-off but would work for simple cases). Once you've done that you have to deal with possibilities for ambiguity and the difficulty of describing how to handle errors. And once you've done that you still have to prove it's competitive with the existing query language using text called SQL, which millions of people already know. Simon.
