What is the expressivity of this transformation tool/language compared to e.g. JSONPath or JMESPath?

Under the hood It's using Jolt which allows for a lot of reshaping and modifications. JSONPath is great for straightforward querying and data extraction but lacks in some transformation aspects. I'd say JMESPath is somewhere in between, offering querying with some transformation features, making it more versatile than JSONPath but not as comprehensive as Jolt for transformations. if the primary goal is to transform JSON data structures, I'd say Jolt offers the most expressivity
