I have found the core 'get-in' function to be useful for extracting data from big trees of clojure data structures, perhaps that will help.
I'm still in search of tools that let me get a good sense of *what* to navigate when looking at such trees of data structures from API's and/or data sources I'm unfamiliar with. I find that to be pretty painful, not least because emacs (and maybe the REPL) get seriously compute wedged printing large data structures. An example of this is Amazonica, which will flatten ALL the data in a hierarchy of java data structures from the AWS SDK into one gigantic tree. It's a nifty tool, but the resulting flood of data with one careless query or printed tree fragment has been known to knock out my emacs session for minutes at a time. I wrote a tool to analyze unique key paths in large trees so that I might know, for a given tree, what would be useful to provide as the access path to 'get-in'. However I'm not happy enough with my tool to post it here, it needs some kind of syntax for describing sequences in the tree (since you don't want to see every unique key used to access a sequence of 10,000 things).
