title: Jq parse error: Invalid numeric literal at line 1, column 9
body: <p>I am trying to get values from a json file from a url using curl and then printing specific keys with jq command (e.g. company). Unfortunately when I use:
  <code>jq '.[] | .company' JB.json</code>
  I get the error: 
  <code>parse error: Invalid numeric literal at line 1, column 9</code>. I have checked the downloaded file with less and it looks exactly like in the url. </p>
  
  <p>Some people suggested to use the -R option but it prints:
  <code>jq: error: Cannot iterate over string</code></p>
  
  <p>The url of the file is: <a href="https://jobs.github.com/positions.json?description=python&amp;location=new+york" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://jobs.github.com/positions.json?description=python&amp;location=new+york</a></p>
