JSONPath

jq 1.7 Released
Another great alternative is JSONPath[1] which unfortunately not as widely supported and known despite being brilliant!
It's inspired by XPath so it's very familiar instead of a complete new DSL. The killer feature imo is the recursive key lookup so you can write `people..address` and it'll find all "address" keys that descend from "people" anywhere in the JSON. It's by far my favorite parsing language for JSON and I wrote an introduction blog on how to use it in JSON dataset parsing [2] :)

Jaq – A jq clone focused on correctness, speed, and simplicity
https://jless.io/ is similar, and will give you jq selectors so the two combine very well. (fx might have that feature too, I dunno)

jq 1.7 Released
And jless [1] and gron [2].
This is the first I'm hearing of gron, but adding here for completeness sake. Meanwhile, JSON seems to be becoming a standard for CLI tools. Ideal scenario would be if every CLI tool has a --json flag or something similar, so that jc is not needed anymore.

Jj: JSON Stream Editor
> * Switching to a GUI to browse the JSON that would let you copy the path to the current value would probably also help there*
Try https://jless.io/ then.
