JJ is a command line utility that provides a fast and simple way to retrieve or update values from JSON documents. It's powered by GJSON and SJSON under the hood.

It's fast because it avoids parsing irrelevant sections of json, skipping over values that do not apply, and aborts as soon as the target value has been found or updated.

The -v value option is auto-detected as a Number, Boolean, Null, or String. You can override the auto-detection and input raw JSON by including the -r option. This is useful for raw JSON blocks such as object, arrays, or premarshalled strings.
