    Some hint on flattening JSON tree here: https://til.simonwillison.net/jq/flatten-nested-json-objects-jq Of course, you could use the hierarchical format if you are comfortable navigating it in jq. This is a tool to dump the structure of json files as seen by jq. Use python not python3 to run. https://github.com/ilyash/show-struct tree and cat-cli structure is similar but uses different names for some of the fields. cat-cli database includes an md5 hash, tree's does not.
