gron

It provides a command‑line utility that transforms JSON data into a flattened, line‑oriented format, allowing each element to be addressed with a simple dot‑notation path. By converting hierarchical structures into individual lines, the output can be processed with standard text‑search tools such as grep, enabling rapid location of specific keys or values without writing custom parsers. The tool is intended for developers who need to inspect, filter, or manipulate JSON payloads directly from the shell, especially when working with logs, API responses, or configuration files. It is distributed as a stable, ready‑to‑use binary that can be invoked from scripts or interactive terminals, and it requires no additional libraries beyond the core runtime.
