I think “J" = JSONata is unclear an should be changed to "JN" or simmilare

Welcome to the forums @arkovda

Me personally, associate the j; with exactly the library it’s using.

The glyph used, is what the developers of jsonata use

> **[JSONata](https://jsonata.org/)**
>
> JSONata: A declarative open-source query and transformation language for JSON data.

I’m not one to say of course - but for me, I don’t see a need to change it.

Is more misleading (possibly short for JSON or Java Notation) , I agree with Marcus

I'm afraid I agree with @marcus-j-davies and @E1cid.

For anyone familiar with UK election campaigns I also agree with " **Nick**"
