"gron | rg", because life is too short to learn jq.

Amazing work on rg!

OMG, thank you. jq is great but its syntax is impossible to memorize. This is so much better.

Any time! Yeah jq is great, but my usecase is covered better by these two together.

Truly the Unix philosophy at it's finest. It's the only way I search JSON these days! (or YAML with "yq | gron | rg" to get results, pop into (n)vim and to my thing :)

Wait, does ripgrep understand json or something??

No. `gron` understands JSON and flattens it, effectively turning it into line oriented data.
