I have actually fully replaced my jq installation with gojq (including an `ln -s gojq jq`) for a few years, and no script has broken so far. I'm super impressed by the jq compatibility.

If you are going down this route, do be careful with performance. I don't know which is more performant as I've never really had to work with large data sets, but I can't help but feel jq will be faster than gojq in such case. I have no benchmarks backing this up, but who knows, maybe someone will benchmark both.

One of my favourite features is the fact that error messages are actually legible, unlike jq.
