The tool reads JSON data from any source—files, pipelines, or streamed input—and extracts values according to a query. Queries default to Lodash’s .get() syntax, while options allow JSONPath notation, key‑only output, custom indentation, and human‑readable formatting with optional color and line‑break control. It can also operate in line‑by‑line mode, treating each incoming line as an independent JSON document.

Command‑line flags let users specify the input file, choose between JSON and a formatted view, and adjust depth or break length for the human format. The utility supports streaming via stdin, enabling integration with other command‑line programs such as log tailers or alternative JSON processors.

Targeted at developers who need quick, scriptable access to JSON structures without writing code, the program is distributed as a globally installable npm package and is released under the MIT license. It is stable, has automated builds, and follows a Prettier‑styled codebase.
