Grabbing data out of a JSON object is easy, but what if that JSON object is in a JSON array? The `listunspent` command offers a great example, because it'll usually contain a number of different transactions. What if you want to capture specific information from _one_ of them?
When working with a JSON array, the first thing you need to do is tell JQ which index to access. For example, you might have looked through your transactions in `listunspent` and decided that you wanted to work with the second of them. You use `'.[1]'` to access that first element. The `[]` says that we're referencing a JSON array and the `0` says we want the 0th index.

You can then capture an individual value from that selected array by (1) using a pipe _within_ the JQ arguments; and then (2) requesting the specific value afterward, as in the previous example. The following would capture the `txid` from the 0th JSON object in the JSON array produced by `listunspent`:
