jq

jq is a widely-used command-line utility and very high-level, functional, domain-specific programming language designed for processing JSON data. jq filters its input data to produce modified output in a manner similar to AWK or sed, but operates on JSON values, rather than lines. In jq, programs consist of "filters" that can be composed in pipelines that perform a variety of operations on their inputs. Wikipedia
