I think it makes sense to add even more formats in the future (toml, msgpack, bson, etc), but this list of boolean flags will grow unmanageable.
What do you think about --input-format=xml and --output-format=xml instead of these format-specific parameters?

Sure, looks to be a very good idea :)

If anyone is interested, a binary built called "xjq" is available here; https://github.com/momiji/xjq. |

The idea it to add xml support the same as xq (installed with python yq).
It supports multiple xml inputs, that xq does not allow.
On read, much faster than original xq.
On write, many times faster than json2xml.
I'm opened to ideas.
