This package provides a lightweight and flexible command-line JSON processor
jq is like sed for JSON data – you can use it to slice and filter and map and
transform structured data with the same ease that sed, awk, grep and friends
let you play with text.
jq is written in portable C, and it has zero runtime dependencies.
jq can mangle the data format that you have into the one that you want with very
little effort, and the program to do so is often shorter and simpler than you'd expect.
