Identity Filter .

Object Identifier-Index Filter .key
.key
The filter expects a map and produces the value associated with the key given as argument of the filter, or null if there is no such object. The value, if exists, can be a primitive, a map or an array.
cat example.json | jq '.color'
This syntax only works for "identifier-like" keys: keys that are all made of alphanumeric characters and underscore, and which do not start with a digit.
The .key syntax is actually an alias for the more generic syntax:
.["key"]
If the key contains special characters, the .key alias cannot be used, and the complete .["key"] syntax should be used.
