Looks awesome, one of my frustrations with jq has always been that I can't see what data I'm going to be retrieving until I run it.

This can help with seeing the data structure which might help with incrementaly creeping up on what values you are looking for.

Does not seem to be the same as `gron` from what I can see, `gron` makes JSON greppable and diffable, whereas `json_to_paths` seems to be outputting `jq` paths for each element, making it easy to select it.
