> I wonder when XSLT will be re-invented and applied to JSON and YAML.

That's jq and its gojq friend (for its `--yaml-input`), right? If not a standard, damn near one as best I can tell. JMESPath (used by awscli and ansible) is a joke compared to the expressiveness of jq. There's also JSONPath in kubectl but it is similarly nowhere near as awesome as jq and not even complete in its attempt to be "XPath for JSON"
