How does this relate to navigating structured documents? Even if you use XML, presumably you will want to programmatically navigate/query it at some point.
Time to go back to XSLT?

#23I applaud this project's focus on correctness and efficiency, but I'd also really like a version of `jq` that's easy to understand without having to learn a whole new syntax. `jq` is a really powerful tool and `jaq` promises to be even more powerful. But, as a system administrator, most lot of the time that I'm dealing with json files, something that behaved more like grep would be sufficient.

That's my whole point. The tools for navigating, transforming, streaming, parsing, etc. XML are genuinely terrific, like nothing else, and it's demoralizing to see younger devs throw it all away because they prefer not to have to learn anything with more than trivial complexity.

One of my coworkers really likes Miller: https://github.com/johnkerl/miller
The idea is that you get awk/grep like commands for operating on structured data.

I'm not sure if there is any open source XSLT tool as complete as jq is for JSON. There is xsltproc but IIRC it does not support streaming scenarios (jq has some support for streaming processing)
Though, personally, I prefer JSON. Probably due to superior tools (thanks to its popularity) and less-bloated syntax (it is somewhat easier for me to read raw JSON file than raw XML file).

Have you tried `gron`? It converts your nested json into a line by line format which plays better with tools like `grep` From the project's README: ▶ gron " https://api.github.com/repos/tomnomnom/gron/commits?per_page... " | fgrep "commit.author" json[0].commit.author = {}; json[0].commit.author.date = "2016-07-02T10:51:21Z"; json[0].commit.author.email = "mail@tomnomnom.com"; json[0].commit.author.name = "Tom Hudson…
You can also mimic gron, including support for yaml with
yq -o=props my-file.yaml
