jq is like sed for JSON data - you can use it to slice, filter, map and transform structured data with the same ease that sed, awk, grep and friends let you play with text. jq is written in portable C, and it has zero runtime dependencies. You can download a single binary, scp it to a far away machine of the same type, and expect it to work. jq can mangle the data format that you have into the one that you want with very little effort, and the program to do so is often shorter and simpler than you'd expect. Data in jq is represented as streams of JSON values - every jq expression runs for each value in its input stream, and can produce any number of values to its output stream. jq filters run on a stream of JSON data. The input to jq is parsed as a sequence of whitespace-separated JSON values which are passed through the provided filter one at a time. The output(s) of the filter are written to standard out, again as a sequence of whitespace-separated JSON data.

Text editor based on interface from Intel ISIS-II aedit, which in turn was based on its big brother alter. This was originally written in the mid 80s on QNX running on an 8088, with a CBM-64 acting as the console. I have used this on every UNIX system I have touched. A couple of things have not been implemented, (a) other - a feature to hold two files in memory (b) error on saving detected, the original ISIS-II would reboot if you attempted to write to a read-only disk, so this part just never happened in the C version - sin of omission. It has even run on UNIX Release 7 on a PDP-II emulator.
