Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Frawk: An efficient Awk-like programming language. (2021)
gron (https://github.com/tomnomnom/gron) to transform it and query and then invert the transformation?
- Show HN: Flatito, grep for YAML and JSON files
- Gron: Make JSON greppable

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.

jq 1.7 Released
Jello let’s you use python syntax with dot notation without the stdin/stdout/json.loads boilerplate.

- the case for bash

Simple Apache Log Parser
Yep, you can create a filter in jq to do that. Alternatively, if you prefer Python syntax you could try jello, which works like jq but is really Python under the hood. (I am also the author of jello)
- I'm developing a new command line tool for querying and transforming JSON files , called ~Q (pronounced "unquery"). My design goal is to create a tool that is powerful yet easy to use (aim to be more intuitive for users than existing tools such as jq). Let me know your thoughts and suggestions.

I'm no expert in any of these tools, but here are some yamlpath and jello examples to match:

Show HN: gq – like jq or zq, but you use Go
Similar in concept to jello[0] which works like jq but uses python syntax.

Anyone have a resource to filter out information from complex json outputs? In the example, I am trying to get the "state": "succeeded" information for each entry in the resource array.
Or, if you prefer python list comprehension syntax, you could use Jello:
- Ask HN: Local Tools for Viewing JSON
What are some alternatives?
jq - Command-line JSON processor [Moved to: https://github.com/jqlang/jq]
jellex - TUI to filter JSON and JSON Lines data with Python syntax
jfq - JSONata on the command line
dasel - Select, put and delete data from JSON, TOML, YAML, XML and CSV files with a single tool. Supports conversion between formats and can be used as a Go package.
xidel - Command line tool to download and extract data from HTML/XML pages or JSON-APIs, using CSS, XPath 3.0, XQuery 3.0, JSONiq or pattern matching. It can also create new or transformed XML/HTML/JSON documents.
jc - CLI tool and python library that converts the output of popular command-line tools, file-types, and common strings to JSON, YAML, or Dictionaries. This allows piping of output to tools like jq and simplifying automation scripts.
pup - Parsing HTML at the command line
JsonPath - Java JsonPath implementation
jsonslicer - Stream JSON parser for Python
fx - Terminal JSON viewer & processor
jmespath.py - JMESPath is a query language for JSON.
