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.

Zq: An Easier (and Faster) Alternative to Jq
It took me a while to grok jq, but now that I do I kinda like it? I don't think I want to learn yet another thing.
I do like tools that complement/supplement jq though, like jid: https://github.com/simeji/jid
- Ask HN: Local Tools for Viewing JSON

jless - Command Line JSON Viewer

How to navigate an API from the terminal
If you're trying to work out the structure and content of an API's JSON responses, you can keep paging through the documentation and the paged output of less or you can reach for more precise JSON parsing tools such as, jq and jid.

Help using JQ interactively?
Yeah, I love me some jq, and my first reaction to the JSON tools page was 'What do these bring to the table that jq doesn't?". Gron and Jid changed my mind.
- My favorite cli/tui programs:
- Ask HN: Tools you have made for yourself?
What are some alternatives?

jfq - JSONata on the command line
fx - Terminal JSON viewer & processor
