Personally, I stopped using `jq` in favor of python oneliners, they a bit more verbose but also cross-compatible, works out of the box (not everyone has jq, but most of people have python (pre)installed on their machines) and it is easy to implement a oneliner, i.e.:

   curl -X GET "https://httpbin.org/json" -H "Accept: application/json" | python -c 'import sys, json; print(json.load(sys.stdin)["slideshow"]["author"])'

Do xonsh helps you write a tar command without googling [0] or browsing a man?
