Thank you for pointing out that jq can create JSON! I use jq all the time for working with the AWS CLI and a big pain point has always been sending JSON. If you don't know, the AWS CLI depends on JSON arguments for quite a few common tasks, and the JSON needed can be quite lengthy.

Up until now I've been creating temp JSON files to feed the commands and I thought jo would be a great tool to make this easier. Now that I know jq can also create JSON, I'll just use that instead.
