Use gron for adhoc, then jq to script once you know what you need to do.

I'm going to leave a mention of jless [1] as well here. The purpose should be obvious from the name.

I also find VisiData is useful for adhoc exploring of JSON data. You can also use it to explore multiple other formats. I find it really helpful, plus it gives that little burst of adrenaline from its responsive TUI, similar to fx and jless mentioned.

For my toolbox I include jq, gron, miller, VisiData, in addition to classics like sed, awk, and perl.
