Move over jq I found something easier: fx

• fx

  50 18,490 9.2 Go

  Terminal JSON viewer & processor

• jq

  52 29,042 9.4 C

  Command-line JSON processor

  

Seeing what a tool does isn't a comparison. A blog post would hopefully be insightful and point out non-obvious things, like how jq is arguably abandonware. https://github.com/jqlang/jq/issues/2305

• xidel

  18 651 5.6 Pascal

  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.

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
