alt Hacker Newswow, on that case then using `jq` is just a presentation preference at the very last step unless jq is more expressive (which might be the case given how long it has been around?).

right, the jq query language is much more complex and featureful than the simple selector syntax I added to the rx-cli. But more could be added later as needed or it could just stream JSON output. It would be pretty trivial to hook up a streaming JSON encoder to rx-cli which could then pipe to jq for low-latency lookups. The problem is jq would need to JSON parse all that data which will be expensive.
