[Feature Request] Use jq for JSON filters

JSON filters on Insomnia are pretty useful, but there’s some cases that aren’t (nicely) covered by it. I have to regularly interact with APIs that return arrays of big JSON objects (40+ properties) of which I usually need a small subset of fields. JSON path allows you to do $.results[*]["asd","id"] but that prints an array with no keys which is confusing when the types of the fields are similar.

jq is really powerfull JSON processor which can transform just about any JSON input to any output you can imagine (while being really really fast). The query .results[] | {asd, id} would produce an array of objects with the proper keys, instead of simply the values.

I’m gonna resurrect this and commandeer it for keeping track of these things.

In my mind, since the jsonpath libraries have mostly been abandoned since the time they were first introduced into insomnia and jq has since come a long way, I think this is a viable thing to explore now.

would like to keep this issue open if at all possible. There has been a larger need to be able to use JQ within insomnia and think this would be an extremely valuable addition to this product.
