JMESPath as jq alternative?

[davidsharp]

jq's quite nice, but a little confusing, whereas as JMESPath looks like it could be a good secondary option. http://jmespath.org/

I'm not sure how it'd play with JSON-Splora, but there's a JS implementation: https://github.com/jmespath/jmespath.js/

I'm open to PRs supporting other parsing backends
