The fact that you cannot have trailing commans in lists or dicts as in 3, at:

{
  "asdf": [
    1,
    2,
    3,
  ]
}

is one of the most infuriating design choices of all time!!!

jq (2012-)

Yet another awk-like domain-specific language to do things from the CLI in a ridiculously short humber of character? Oh yes.

jq ignore missing attribute

echo '[{"a": 1, "b": 2}, {"b": 3}]' | jq '.[] | select(.a) | .a'

Output:

and no empty lines as desired.
