I have never heard of “jq”. Oh my goodness. Your comment may have just changed my life. I cannot emphasize enough how many times I have needed a tool like this (and, yes, shame on me for not making a better effort to find one). Thank you!

As a heavy jq user and now a days also maintainer i say welcome! happy to help if you run into some problem

The syntax (and theory behind it) are really arcane, but jq is phenomenally powerful.

For websites which can publish JSON extracts, piping that through jq to get just what you want and how you want it is an absolute lifesaver.

Yeap the syntax and semantics is quite different to other languages and it really took me a long time and deep understanding to really appreciate how expressive and damn well designed it is.
