🛠️ String#to_proc` to Help Traversing JSON
Summary
This project implements a Ruby String#to_proc extension to help traverse deeply nested structures like JSON responses more simply and readably without resorting to nested flat_map calls. It allows querying data while keeping Ruby flexibility and integrating with methods like map and find.
Why it’s interesting
It offers an alternative to jq or JSONPath implemented natively as a Ruby block syntax that supports Ruby methods and strict nil handling.
