Useful too to work with your JSON files - jq

If you are working with JSON files then jq could be a very valuable tool. jq has proven to be a valuable tool for JSON processing. I've integrated it into several projects to streamline API response handling and data transformation tasks.
In our CI/CD pipelines, jq helps automate configuration updates across environments. If you have JSON-formatted log files, then you can greatly benefit from using 'jq' to search those log files.

jq has its own query language and it is quite powerful. Mastering jq's query language takes some time. But, with some basic queries you can get a lot using this tool and significantly improves your productivity when working with JSON data. I have been using it and added it to my toolkit, complementing other command-line utilities for data manipulation and analysis.

"jq is a lightweight and flexible command-line JSON processor" from the jq https://stedolan.github.io/jq/
