Is your Proposal Related to a Problem?

No, it is to enhance existing functionality in JSON operator.

Describe Your Proposed Improvement

Currently, our JSON operator is built on top of object mapper - https://github.com/instill-ai/component/blob/main/pkg/objectmapper/mapper.go#L78

It does not support advanced operations like - expression evaluation, map-reduce, regex etc.

Ideally, we would want it to support more operations (not all need to be supported at once, we can incrementally build). Or if we can embed jq within VDP, that would be great.

For reference - https://jqlang.github.io/jq/manual/#types-and-values

Highlight the Benefits

We will have support for more versatile operations on JSON data.

Anything Else?
