+- arbitrary `jq` usage on yaml/toml/json input with the same syntax (same filter syntax, supports modules) by leveraging `jq` as an intermediate format
 - drop-in replacement to [python-yq](https://kislyuk.github.io/yq/) (e.g. provides: yq)
 - handles multidoc **yaml** input (vector of documents returned when multiple docs found)
 - handles [yaml merge keys](https://yaml.org/type/merge.html) and expands yaml tags (via `serde_yaml`)

 ## Output Caveats
 
 Output formatting such as `-y` for YAML or `-t` for TOML will require the output from `jq` to be parseable json.
