> JMESPath is the AWS CLI query language, which is a convenient bonus

And in ansible, too, FWIW, but yes it's my hand-to-hand combat with the language in both of those circumstances that has formed my opinion about it

Regrettably, "kubectl get -o jsonpath" is _almost_ the same, but just different enough to trip me up :-(

Despite using Ansible for several different projects in the past few years, I had no idea there was a corner involving JMESPath. Thanks for the heads-up.

FWIW, my choice to move towards JMESPath is definitely a pragmatic one, not an aesthetic preference. I can't say JMESPath fills me with joy, and the syntax does not come naturally to me - it just solves the problem acceptably well and in a way that has some network effects.

I have plenty of respect for "I've used this tool in the wild and the experience was unpleasant."
