query json in response about wuzz HOT 5 OPEN

so if the response body is a json like say

{
  "books": [
    { "id": "abc", "name": ... },
    { "id": "cde", "name": ...},
  ]
}

We should be able to query .books.[0] to get the first item or .books.[*].id to get all the id.
This will allow us navigate big json easily.

Do you mean as an alternative method of searching (as opposed to the existing regex search)? If so, that sounds like a great idea - I'd definitely be interested in that. Not sure how else we could use a jq-like syntax in wuzz - I'd love to hear any suggestions you might have.

@ZwodahS agree, it would be useful. README's todo section already contains this feature but with xpath.

@ZwodahS that's what I thought you meant - that's a great suggestion.
