Try `gron`. Great for taking JSON and converting it into something that can be grep'ed, and then if you need JSON out on the other end, you can then use `gron -u` to reverse the operation.

Saved my sanity more times than I can count, and allows me to avoid the Cthonic black magic known as `jq`.

I'll check it out- but the problem is portability. The script I wrote may need to run on machines that don't have anything but awk sed grep cut etc...

That being said, I'll check it out on my local machine :)

Amazing tool. Thank you.
