gojq

This is an implementation of jq command written in Go language. You can also embed gojq as a library to your Go products. gojq is purely implemented with Go language and is completely portable. jq depends on the C standard library so the availability of math functions depends on the library. jq also depends on the regular expression library and it makes building scripts complex. gojq implements nice error messages for invalid query and JSON input. The error message of jq is sometimes difficult to tell where to fix the query. gojq does not keep the order of object keys. I understand this might cause problems for some scripts but basically, we should not rely on the order of object keys. Due to this limitation, gojq does not have the keys_unsorted function and --sort-keys (-S) option. gojq supports arbitrary-precision integer calculation while jq does not; jq loses the precision of large integers when calculation is involved.
