i get that it's more powerful but I almost consider it an anti-feature. I have very good tools for doing transformations (sed,awk,perl, etc etc) the problem is they all want line oriented format and JSON breaks that. So all I want is a tool to go from json => line oriented and I will do the rest with the vast library of experience I already have at transformations on the command line.

The tool for that is likely https://github.com/tomnomnom/gron
It's probably the best tool to go back and forth easily between json and line oriented.
