Move over jq I found something easier: fx
You could try Xidel[1]. It supports JSON, XML and HTML using XPath/XQuery 3.1
It has some extensions to the standard that are pretty nice (JSONiq, CSS selectors, html “template” matching), but you can limit it to just standard XPath/XQuery if you like.
I recommend getting the nightly v .99 build if you give it a try, the stable .98 version is pretty old and I’ve had no issues with .99

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.
