Thank you for contributing the PR so swiftly 👍

I can confirm it does a great job in highlighting also a more complex example of jq code.

Just one question or a wish, if possible – could the pipe | operator be treated similar as the vscode highlighter does? Maybe keep the operatorclass and add a pipeline-operator class too?

The | operator combines two filters by feeding the output(s) of the one on the left into the input of the one on the right. It’s pretty much the same as the Unix shell’s pipe, if you’re used to that.

@iilei | and |= will now also have the pipe alias which should allow more granular highlighting.

I also changed the style of . depending on the context. I.e. .foo and .[0] will still be punctuation but a single . will be of class dot.

I hope this works for you.

very cool
