I don't find this grep-able at all:

    json[0].commit.author.name = "Tom Hudson";

Now I need to escape brackets and dots in regex. Genius!

I have 5 line (!) jq script that produces this:

    json_0_commit_author_name='Tom Hudson'

This is what I call grep-able. It's also eval-able.

Then I'll use jq to filter it appropriately or change delimiter. The point is ease of use for grep and shell.
