jq
The tutorial will cover most use cases.
Color the json input: curl $JSON_PRODUCING_URL | jq.
Get first item in a list: echo $JSON_LIST | jq '.[0]'
Get specific item from a list: echo $JSON_LIST | jq '.[].foo'
You can even convert that to other json objects: echo $JSON_LIST | jq '.[] | {foo: .bar.foo, baz: .bar.baz}'. Don’t forget to use ' so that the | character gets sent to jq and isn’t interpreted by the shell.
Output raw string: jq -r
