The biggest jq programs in the world

Inspired by Oils’ “The Biggest Shell Programs in the World”, I want to create something similar for jq like what I’ve done with the Whitespace Corpus and Brainfuck Program Corpus. Awesome jq has some programs (not included here), but does not focus on them.

The following is the result of a quick survey of the GitHub profiles of all contributors to jq with at least 10 commits, searching their repos for “jq” in the repo description and filtering to jq-language repos. The numbers are line counts.
