An underappreciated feature of jq is simply using it to pretty-print compact JSON such as jq . compact.json.

Is there a jp equivalent? I tried cat compact.json | jp @ but that did not do what I expected, probably owing to my having learned JMESPath only a couple hours ago and still finding my legs.

I figured out my problem: jp only processes the first JSON in a sequence of JSONs. So I've changed the issue to requesting jp repeatedly consume JSONs from input and apply the JMESPath until EOF.
