1. Is there a name/"standard" for the format gron is transforming json into?
2. Thesis:
jq is cumbersome when used on a json input of serious size/complexity because upfront knowledge of the structure of the json is needed to formulate correct search queries.
Gron supports that "uninformed search" use-case much better.
Prove me wrong ;)

There isn't really a name for it, but it's a subset of JavaScript and the grammar is available here specified in EBNF, with some railroad diagrams to aid understanding: https://tomnomnom.github.io/gron/ https://tomnomnom.github.io/gron/ 2. That's pretty much exactly why I wrote the tool :)
