Gron – Make JSON Greppable
From the FAQ, before someone asks the obvious:<p>Why shouldn't I just use jq?<p>jq is awesome, and a lot more powerful than gron, but with that power comes complexity. gron aims to make it easier to use the tools you already know, like grep and sed.<p>gron's primary purpose is to make it easy to find the path to a value in a deeply nested JSON blob when you don't already know the structure; much of jq's power is unlocked only once you know that structure.
