There is JSLT: https://github.com/schibsted/jslt and it can be useful if you need to transform a json document into another json structure.

The people who made that are either very funny in a sarcastic, way or in severe lack of a history lesson of the area they're working in.
What is a better alternative if you just need to transform JSON from one structure to another JSON structure?
Load it into a full programming language runtime and use the great collections libraries available in almost all languages to transform it and then serialize it into your target format. I want to use maps and vectors and real integers and functions and date libraries and spec libraries. String to string processing is hell.
Imperative code. Easy to mentally parse, comment, log, splice in other data. Why add another dependency just to go from json>json? That'd need an exceptional justification.
