Jq
jq
https://stedolan.github.io/jq/
lightweight and flexible command-line JSON processor
jq accepts a stream of JSON and then transforms it (selecting, iterating, reducing, etc) through one or more filters and then pretty-prints the results. jq is like sed for JSON data - you can use it to slice and filter and map and transform structured data with the same ease that sed, Gawk, grep and friends let you play with text.
