How Do You Effectively Manage and Analyze Semi-Structured Data in Your Workflow?

omg semi structured data is such a headache lol. i usually just dive into analysis first to see what i’m working with, then clean up the mess later.

for tools, i love jq for quick json parsing in the terminal. it’s a lifesaver! and for csv, csvkit is underrated imo.

if you’re dealing with a lot of xml, maybe try xmlstarlet? it’s a bit clunky but gets the job done.
