Just wanted to say thanks

Hopefully this is encouraging. THANK you for your work on this!! My job is kind of the 'fix it' guy that tries to fill the gaps when our applications do things that were not in the original design. So that means parsing through large chunks of JSON to pull out the parts we don't need, insert the parts we do need, and push it back up via REST call. I also do a lot of programming in Go, so I came across JJ through godoc. There are things you can do with JJ that you just can't do with grep, sed, awk etc. and it's become one of those tools that I wind up putting on all our servers. I like that it's written in Go. Its one binary with 0 dependancies, I don't have to worry about installing 35 other items to get it to work. 👍

The only enhancement I'd like to see is the ability to search. Who knows I might write it. :) There are times I know what I am looking for is in a certain area, or in an array. Like "services.system.circuit.#" <-- The unique circuit number is in that array somewhere. In bash I can loop for it, but it would be cool if JJ could search for it.

Thanks again.
