jq looks very interesting. I have a simplistic filtering syntax to work with right now, as part of a third-party API definition that my system needs to support, but it doesn't support querying into nested structures. jq looks like just the ticket for that. I'm sure I'll take a look when the time comes to extend my system to support nesting properly.
If I end up using jq with sqlite-as-it-is-now, I'd do it on deserialized JSON values that I've already fetched from sqlite. But I, too, would love to have native json support internally in sqlite, so +1 to this idea: https://www.mail-archive.com/sqlite-users@sqlite.org/msg85934.html something like that seems like its probably a necessary first step to being able to build a JSON index on disk.
