High performance and memory efficiency
Compatible with standard jq syntax and filters
Supports streaming JSON processing

Use Cases:

Parsing and filtering API responses in CI/CD pipelines
Analyzing large JSON log files or datasets

jq – The original, highly optimized C implementation; requires external binary dependency.
python -m json.tool – Built-in Python module for basic formatting, lacks advanced query capabilities.
