You mean the Lucene query language -  http://lucene.apache.org/core/old_versioned_docs/versions/3_4_0/queryparsersyntax.html ;-)
In the end it comes down to that. 

What would the purpose of a new query language be? I guess it would be more object centric, but is this relevant for a user?

I just don't see users of a finished app being exposed to such query functionality. 
I see the JSON representation just as a way to serialise the query. To which means I am not sure at the moment.
