    Seriously though, the article leads to the author's jp bash script which allows processing of JSON. It could be useful - but why it exists when jq is available, I don't know. Nonetheless, it looks like an impressive acheivment.

    However there was a flaw in how jp parsed large input: it repeatedly copied the input string which, for large inputs made it very slow. Maybe that's what you ran into? That is fixed now. jp can parse the 128kb of json in tests/share/ec2-describe-instances.json for example.
