It's ofter a matter of having the right tool for the job. In your case, https://github.com/tomnomnom/gron might be useful.

TomWright/dasel: Select, put and delete data from JSON, TOML, YAML, XML and CSV
Speaking of trees, gron/ungron is an amazing transformer that allows one to use any query tool on the leaves of the tree and then turn the flattened structure back into a document (json).
I'd love to see gron/ungron implemented for all tree structures.

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

> 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
