Getting same results for both eq and neq clauses

data:

{
  "appStatus": {
    "displayName": "JobServer",
    "instanceStatus": {

      },

      "lastStatusChangeTime": "2022-12-14 16:37:31",

  }
}

code:

notStopped := jq.New().File("out.json").
	From("appStatus.instanceStatus").
	Where("status", "neq", "STOPPED")

log.Println(notStoppped)
log.Println(notStopped.Get())

output:

Content: {

    "displayName": "JobServer",

      "autoRestartSuspended": false,
      "autoRestartSuspendedForApp": false,

        "custom": false,

        "serverName": "xxx"

      "lastStatusEvent": "Stop",
      "lastStopTime": "2022-12-14 16:37:31",
      "status": "STOPPED"
    },
    "name": "JobServer",

    "numberOfInstancesRunning": 0,
    "outageCountInLast24Hrs": 1,
    "pecentageUpInstance": 0,
    "status": "Red",
    "totalNumberOfInstances": 1
  }
}

Queries:[[{status eq STOPPED}]]

2022/12/14 20:48:31 map[autoRestartSuspended:false autoRestartSuspendedForApp:false autoRestartableApp:false instance:map[active:true applicationDisplayName:JobServer applicationId:42 applicationName:JobServer custom:false id:10 name:1 serverName:xxx] lastStartTime:2022-11-06 11:53:52 lastStatusChangeTime:2022-12-14 16:37:31 lastStatusEvent:Stop lastStopTime:2022-12-14 16:37:31 status:STOPPED]

Changing where to eq produces exactly same output.
I would think that neq should return an empty map instead?

Another test with neq:

notStopped := jq.New().File("out.json").
	From("appStatus").
	From("instanceStatus.instance").
	Where("name", "!=", 1)

Returns:

map[active:true applicationDisplayName:JobServer applicationId:42 applicationName:JobServer custom:false id:10 name:1 serverName:xxx]

So it would appear that neq and != do not work as expected?

Any help in getting this working? Am I doing smth wrong?

PS: is this lib maintained? Seems like not much activity going on lately.
