Like JQ, but for HTML
parsel[0] is a python script in front of the identically named python lib, and extracts parts of the HTML by CSS selector. the advantage of it compared to most similar tools is that you can navigate in the DOM tree up and down to find precisely what you want if the HTML is poorly marked up, or the searched parts are not close to each other.

Frawk: An efficient Awk-like programming language. (2021)
gron (https://github.com/tomnomnom/gron) to transform it and query and then invert the transformation?

Make JSON Greppable
It buffers all of its output statements in memory before writing to stdout:

Jaq – A jq clone focused on correctness, speed, and simplicity
Have you tried `gron`?
It converts your nested json into a line by line format which plays better with tools like `grep`
From the project's README:
▶ gron "https://api.github.com/repos/tomnomnom/gron/commits?per_page..." | fgrep "commit.author"
json[0].commit.author = {};
json[0].commit.author.date = "2016-07-02T10:51:21Z";
json[0].commit.author.email = "[email protected]";
json[0].commit.author.name = "Tom Hudson";
https://github.com/tomnomnom/gron
It was suggested to me in HN comments on an article I wrote about `jq`, and I have found myself using it a lot in my day to day workflow

Interactive Examples for Learning Jq
> So all I want is a tool to go from json => line oriented and I will do the rest with the vast library of experience I already have at transformations on the command line.*
The tool for that is likely https://github.com/tomnomnom/gron

Modern Linux Tools vs. Unix Classics: Which Would I Choose?
If JQ is too much, see GRON &| Miller
gron transforms JSON into discrete assignments to make it easier to grep for what you want https://github.com/tomnomnom/gron
Miller is like awk, sed, cut, join, and sort for data formats such as CSV, TSV, JSON, JSON https://github.com/johnkerl/miller
- XML is better than YAML

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.
