Is there a general name for the kind of data structure JSON represents?

We see this kind of Nete’s data all over the place (json, yaml, python dictionaries, toml, etc, etc) and I’m thinking wouldn’t it be nice if we had a path language that worked across these structures, just like how we can regex any strings?

So we can have a pathql executable that we can feed yaml and json data to, but I can reuse the query in Python when I want to extract values from a json stream I just deserialized.
