Jq (programming language)

Jq is a type of computer language that helps you process information in a special way. When we have information, like lots of words, numbers and symbols all together, it can be hard to find the things we are looking for. That is where Jq comes in!

Jq is like a special tool that you can use to find the exact information you need in a very detailed way. It is like a set of instructions that tell the computer how to search through all the information and only show you what you want to see.

You can use Jq to do all kinds of things like search for a specific word, add up numbers, or even make new types of information based on what you already have. It is like a magical tool that helps you understand complex data in a simpler way.

Though Jq is a little bit tricky to learn, with practice, it will become like your best friend when you are working with really big sets of information.
