> What exactly is missing/broken in jq right now which warrants a fork
AFAIK there’s quite a few bug fixes and features that are accumulated on the unreleased main branch, or opened as PRs but never merged.
IIRC I hit one of the bugs while trying to check whether an input document is valid JSON.
I should try checking out what’s happening to the fork, I’ve never opened a PR or something but I’ve read the source while trying to understand the jq language conceptually, and I’d say it’s quite elegant :)
