Look into `jq`

This would be a really cool addition:

curl('https://api.github.com/repos/stedolan/jq/commits?per_page=5') %>% 
  jq('.[0] | {message: .commit.message, name: .commit.committer.name}') %>%
  stream_in(function(){...})

+1 - i tried to replicate what jq does in native R w/o wrapping the C library, but I imagine you envision just wrapping the C library

@jeroenooms we started working on jq using the C library https://github.com/ropensci/jqr
