Hi all,
I would like to share the 1.0 release of my project json2tsv.
json2tsv is a tool to convert JSON to TSV.
json2tsv reads JSON data from stdin. It outputs each JSON type to a TAB-
Separated Value format per line by default. A different field and record
separator can be set (than a TAB and newline).
The default output format is:
nodename<TAB>type<TAB>value<LF>
The type field is a single byte and can be:
* a for array
* b for bool
* n for number
* o for object
* s for string
* ? for null
There is a shellscript wrapper included called "jaq" that uses awk as a sort of
"query language". This can be used in a similar way like jq(1), except you
don't have to learn some new jq-specific meta-language.
An example:
echo '{"url":"https://codemadness.org/"}' | \
jaq '$1 == ".url" { print $3 }'
A more detailed write-up is on my blog and phlog:

Phlog: gopher://codemadness.org/1/phlog/json2tsv
It can be found at:
* git://git.codemadness.org/json2tsv
* gopher://codemadness.org/1/git/json2tsv
* https://codemadness.org/releases/json2tsv/
* gopher://codemadness.org/1/releases/json2tsv/
The tool has few dependencies and includes its own JSON parser in json.{c,h}.
Extensively tested and tested with a testsuite.
I would like to thank all people who gave feedback and have sent patches
and I hope this project is useful to others as well,

Kind regards,
