Also for anything where jq gets too complicated, you can use python to whip
up an arbitrary json filter
Theres only 5 lines of boiler plate
import json
import sys
d = json.load(sys.stdin)
# your code here
print(json.dumps(d))

If push comes to shove, one can always use xmlawk

There is also a simple JSON extension for gawk in the gawkextlib project
that can suck in a single JSON record and turn it into a gawk
multidimensional array, and vice versa. (Gawk has true multidimensional
arrays and isarray/typeof functions so that you can easily traverse
such an array.)
