=={{header|jq}}==

jq's data types are JSON's data types. In particular, jq strings are UTF-8 strings. See [http://json.org json.org] for further details.

jq identifiers, however, are restricted to a subset of ASCII.

The jq command does have several options in support of flexibility when "communicating with the world":

--raw-input | -R :: each line of input is converted to a JSON string;

--ascii-output | -a :: every non-ASCII character that would otherwise

be sent to output is translated to an equivalent

ASCII escape sequence;

--raw-output | -r :: output strings as raw strings, e.g. "a\nb" is

output as:

a

b
