Hello

I’ve just created a [pull request](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/13684) that adds a lookup plugin to enable generic data querying on ansible by using a json-path based query language. It is pretty straightforward but it has a dependency with dq so I would like to listen from you guys what are your thoughts about it.

Regards

Filipe
