"gojq does not keep the order of object keys" is a bit disappointing.
I care about key order purely for cosmetic reasons: when I'm designing JSON APIs I like to put things like the "id" key first in an object layout, and when I'm manipulating JSON using jq or similar I like to maintain those aesthetic choices.
I know it's bad to write code that depends on key order, but it's important to me as a way of keeping JSON as human-readable as possible.
After all, human readability is one of the big benefits of JSON over various other binary formats.
