Hey everyone! I'm currently tackling a project where I need to extract JSON values related to testing results for some hardware. The challenge is that the JSON document from the API is over 6000 lines long and is poorly structured, with various elements haphazardly added throughout. I'm wondering if there's a tool available that can help me search for a key in a key/value pair and return the full path to it. Any suggestions?

Honestly, you might not even need a dedicated tool. If you know some programming, you could write a simple script that uses a depth-first search to navigate through the JSON tree until you find the key you're looking for.
If you want to do this manually, I'd recommend `jq` or using regex to parse it out. But, just to give you a heads-up, regex can get messy when dealing with complex, nested JSON.
You can definitely use the `jq` tool for this! It has a bit of a learning curve due to its syntax, but it's super powerful for working with JSON data. Check out this link for some guidance on printing paths and key values: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/561460/how-to-print-path-and-key-values-of-json-file.
