Adding Mojo::JSON::Pointer to ojo

[s1037989]

Sometimes it's useful to point to a specific JSON value using a pointer:

$ perl -Mojo -E 'say Mojo::JSON::Pointer->new(j(<STDIN>))->get(@ARGV)' /hello < hello.json
Hello Mojo!

Could we add Mojo::JSON::Pointer to "ojo" to help out a little bit?

$ perl -Mojo -E 'say J->get(@ARGV)' /hello < hello.json
Hello Mojo!

• Note: Obviously this J function doesn't exist. Default to <STDIN> unless a JSON string or Mojo::File object is passed.

An interesting idea. Usually I just pipe the json out to jq but I imagine there are circumstances where you want the result back in your one-liner.

That's right, I very often want the result in my one-liner, and sometimes I'll pipe to `jq` and pipe again to another perl or ojo. It's fine, of course, but every time I ask myself, "could this be better?" Mojolicious can do so much heavy lifting, and the `get` command can point to my json, so I'm often reaching for a Mojolicious way to do something similar but with a resource that isn't a URL.
