What is the leading LINQ for JavaScript library?

I'm looking for a JavaScript library that will allow me to query complex JSON objects using a LINQ-like syntax. A quick search found a couple of promising options that look they might offer what I need:

LINQ to JavaScript and jLinq

  • Does any one have any experience using them?
  • What are some pros and cons?
  • Is the performance comparable?
  • Does the function-passing syntax of LINQ to JavaScript offer any hidden benefits (I personally find the syntax of jLinq more appealing on first glance)?
  • What have you found lacking in either project?
  • Did you ever try contacting the authors? How responsive were they?
  • What project is more widely used?

I think it will be the first one to get a thorough try-out.

I recommend taking a look at underscore.js. It is not a direct LINQ port like some of the others, but is a very comfortable "LINQ-like" experience. It supports all the filter, sort and project options that I need and has excellent documentation and community support.

As a bonus for Knockout users, there is UnderscoreKO that adds Underscore's array methods to Knockout's observable arrays. Demo

I'm looking for something like this myself and came across...

This looks really great! Maybe I just don't understand the point of Rx and observables compared to setting event handlers through something like jQuery.
