JavaScript Object Notation or JSON has become a popular data format for many Web-based applications because of its simplicity and modeling flexibility. Wikipedia includes a nice summary of JSON's advantages over other data formats like XML. In contrast to XML, which was originally designed as a markup language, JSON was actually designed for data. Moreover, JSON is a language-independent format, with bindings in a variety of programming languages. In short, JSON makes it easy to model a wide spectrum of data, ranging from homogenous flat data to heterogeneous nested data, and it can do this in a language-independent format. We believe that these characteristics make JSON an ideal data format for many Hadoop applications and databases in general.

Basing Jaql on the standard XQuery could seem a good idea but
infortunately I think that the 'standard' XQuery is forgetting an other standard : SQL.
Make it taste like SQL, do the same thing as SQL but not written the same way.
Well, I guess there is already enough with xml, json, css, html,xhtml, javascript, sql (put your DB list here), server-side language (put your list here too)...
to not add an other querying language.
Why not have the inferface look like :
SELECT author, title FROM authors WHERE title LIKE 'a%' ORDER BY title LIMIT 10;
This can be changed under the scene into a pseudo-like XQuery query if necessary.
