fx: a jq replacement

I’ve always struggled to use jq and at this point I’ve given up on ever learning the jq language. André Arko posted about a new jq alternative called fx, which uses Javascript instead of its own language. I already know Javascript, so maybe it’ll be easier for me to use!

I haven’t really adopted it yet but I like the idea, so I’m putting it here so that I can look it up when I inevitably forget “hey, what was that new jq alternative again?”
