jq doesn't work

[paolosimone]

Hi @m-titov, first of all thanks for using my plugin!

TLDR;

use .weather | map(.date) instead

---

Complete explanation

Virtual Json Viewer is a plugin to render json in the browser, so jq commands must output a valid json.

Unfortunately the following is not a valid json array

"2022-05-19"
"2022-05-20"
"2022-05-21"

While this is

curl -s https://wttr.in/Detroit\?format\=j1 | jq '.weather | map(.date)'
[
  "2022-05-20",
  "2022-05-21",
  "2022-05-22"
]

Since this behaviour is a bit tricky I added a more in-depth section to the readme
