# get all top level dependencies count
jora -i package.json -q '(dependencies.keys() + devDependencies.keys()).size()'

# find packages with more than a single version
npm ls --json | jora "
    ..(dependencies.mapToArray())
        .group(<key>, <version>)
        .({ name: key, versions: value })
        .[versions.size() > 1]
";

Caveats

jora-cli takes a valid JSON and produce a valid JSON as a result. However, jora language could produce some values that incompatable with JSON, such values are transforming:

• NaN, Infinity and -Infinity are converting to null, that's a behaviour of JSON.stringify()
• undefined
  • is convering to null when a result of query (top level) or an element of an array
  • object entries with undefined as a value are eliminating
