"Everyone I know prefers to work with JSON over XML, but sadly there is a sore lack of utilities of the quality or depth of html-xml-utils and XMLStarlet for actually processing JSON data in an automated fashion, short of writing an ad hoc processor in your favourite programming language."

Actually there is just such a suite of utilites! See https://github.com/benbernard/RecordStream

RecordStream seems more complete but requires much more dependencies. I really like the simplicity of jsonpipe and how easy is to use it:

      curl -s "http://feeds.delicious.com/v2/json/adulau  | jsonpipe -s "#"  | grep  "\#u" | cut -f2 | sed -e"s/\"//g" | xargs -d"\n" wget -r -l 1 –p –-convert-links

A simple example to take a local mirror of my last del.icio.us bookmarks...

"simple"
