## intent

handling nested json data is messy, `$ jf` comes to the rescue.

it can turn highly nested json blobs like:

```json

{

    "this": {

        "is": {

            "nested": {

                "quite": {

                    "deep": ["but", "that", "is", "fine"]

                }

            }

        }

    },

    "some" : [

        {

            "other": ["stuff"]

        }

    ],

    "even": {

        "more": "data",

        "boolean": true,

        "number": 2

    }

}

```

into

```json

{

  "even.boolean": true,

  "even.more": "data",

  "even.number": 2,

  "some.0.other.0": "stuff",

  "this.is.nested.quite.deep.0": "but",

  "this.is.nested.quite.deep.1": "that",

  "this.is.nested.quite.deep.2": "is",

  "this.is.nested.quite.deep.3": "fine"

}

```
