JmesPath is built into the AWS CLI.

You don't need separate JQ. See the --query option:

http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/controlling-...

Check out http://jmespath.org for details.

Only saw your comment today, thanks so much for this, I really overlooked this part from the docs.

That's exactly what I did with Pouch (https://github.com/bramgg/pouch).
