The Jackson-jq project actually imports the full testsuite from the “real" jq project, and asks that any discrepancy be reported as a bug. They list the known differences in great detail…so unless you are using $__loc__ <https://stedolan.github.io/jq/manual/v1.5/#$__loc__> or date arithmetic or file I/O in your jq queries, everything else is there.
Since the goal of using jq in tests is really to validate against the “real” jq that customers would be using, that might be a good argument for using the native wrapper approach. On the other hand, since Geode's usage is entirely in tests, switching to another implementation should be easy to validate, just run the tests. And since the set of JQ inputs is fully under our control, it wouldn’t be hard to work within the constraints of the pure-java implementation. I don’t have a strong opinion on pure-java, just brought this up since Dan mentioned the concern with introducing native libs. I don’t know if any Geode developers are running the tests on platforms other than the 3 supported by arakelian (Mac/Windows/Linux). > On Sep 25, 2019, at 10:41 AM, Jinmei Liao <jil...@pivotal.io> wrote: > > I did look at jackson-jq before I considered java-jq, but it is a > re-implementation of jq and this statement on that site puts me off: > "jackson-jq > aims to be a compatible jq implementation.
