Show HN: Flatito, grep for YAML and JSON files

  Make JSON greppable!

This looks cool!

It doesn't do quite the same thing, but a tool I've had good luck with for quick-n-dirty grepping of JSON is gron:

https://github.com/tomnomnom/gron

(which I'm sure I learned about from a thread like this on HN...)

It sort of "flattens out" your JSON to allow you to do whatever you want to it (grepping, for one thing!). Then you can even turn gron's output back into JSON with `ungron`.

Maybe someone will find it a useful toolbox addition, much like the Flatito looks to be!
