I switched to Jaq[0] a while back for the 'correctness' sake rather than performance. But Jaq also claims to be more performant than jq.

Thank you for the recommendation.

It looks like jaq has already progressed much further in the right direction than jsongrep has just started in the not-quite-as-right direction.

I keep an eye on jaq, but there are some holes in the story. jaq 3.0 is faster than Linux distro builds of jq, but jq built correctly is faster than jaq. As far as I can tell the performance reputation of jq is caused by bad distro packaging.
