I'll add `plutil` to the list. It's great for reading plist files, but did you know it can parse json too?

/usr/bin/plutil -extract your.key.path raw -o - - <<< "$jsoninput"

(obviously, less useful now that `jq`is built in)

    ; which jq
    /usr/bin/jq
    ; jq
    jq - commandline JSON processor [version 1.6-159-apple-gcff5336-dirty]

Wow. When did `jq` start shipping by default? TIL

Starting in macOS 15, it was quietly included.

Glad to spread the good word ;)

Useful built-in macOS command-line utilities
