My jq cheatsheet:

Access the top level:

jq .

Pretty print:

jq -r .

List the top-level keys:

jq -r ".|= keys'

Access an object key:

jq .keyname

Access an array element:

jq .[n]

Access an array range:

jq .[n:m]
jq .[n:]
jq .[:m]

Access multiple object values:

jq '.first, .second'

Access a value then filter:

jq '.[n] | .first, .second'

Map an array

jq 'map(...)'
