jsongrep is a command-line utility published by micahkepe that implements a JSONPath-inspired query language to interrogate JSON, YAML, TOML, CBOR, and MessagePack documents without first converting them to a canonical form. Designed for developers, DevOps engineers, and data analysts who routinely inspect or transform structured configuration files, API responses, or log streams, the tool exposes wildcard selection, recursive descent, array slicing, Boolean filter expressions, and Perl-compatible regular-expression matching through a concise, grep-like syntax. Typical use cases include extracting deeply nested keys from multi-megabyte JSON exports, batch-editing YAML Kubernetes manifests, verifying TOML parameter blocks in CI pipelines, or quickly counting CBOR-encoded telemetry items. Because queries are executed in a streaming fashion, memory footprint stays low even when the input exceeds available RAM. The current stable release, version 0.8.0, is the first public build and already supports colorized terminal output, pretty-printed results, and exit-status codes that integrate cleanly with shell conditionals and Makefiles. Distributed under an open-source license, jsongrep is catalogued in the Developer Tools section and is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
