gron [0] is another interesting JSON processor that follows UNIX philosophy:

"Make JSON greppable!"

"gron transforms JSON into discrete assignments to make it easier to grep for what you want and see the absolute 'path' to it."

I absolutely love gron, but I have to confess I feel dirty when I use it. It's unashamedly a brute-force tool in a world with plenty of elegant alternatives, and the main reason to use it is pure laziness to just shamelessly grep stuff around. And I love it for that.
