Gron – Make JSON Greppable

I spend a decent amount of time at the command line wrangling data files. It's fun for me to get clever with other tools like awk and perl when stringing together one liners and I enjoy building my knowledge of these tools, but jq has just never stuck.

Is it possible that you learned awk and Perl when you were but a child, and now your aging system is becoming read-only?

Quite possibly, I did first play with Perl about 15 years before encountering jq. Some days I do feel as though my head is simply out of room, as my brain has been replaced by a large heap of curly braces, semi colons and stack traces.

read-only - getting older it sure feels like that.
