@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org gron does something very similar with JSON. I used to use it more, but these days I just reach for jq instead.

@mckinley@twtxt.net Woah, how cool is that!? :-D Thank you! I’m sure gron will come in very handy some day, now that I have it in my tool bag. My jq skills are pretty much non-existent, though. I don’t use it often enough.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org The thing that really unlocked jq for me was learning how to get a TSV output. That was a complete game changer, because it meant I could easily use it in a shell pipeline. I found it to be better than gron for that purpose. Just make an array for each item containing all the values you need and pipe it to the filter @tsv.

@mckinley@twtxt.net I see. Once more fields are of interest, this is definitely the way to go.
