I do most of my straightforward JSON download and processing in bash. Well, in fish.
As everyone else replying to you indicated, I use jq for it. But when I type `curl http://example.com | jq .`, I'm programming in fish.
Granted, when I want to do something more complex and durable, I'm likely to reach for, yes, python. But nearly as often, I build up a moderately complex jq command, and set an alias to it.
