This is good! There are a number of these, so it seems like it's definitely somthing people want. The most popular of which I think is gron[0]. My own is jstream[1]. One tiny point of friendly feedback: you may want to consider adding an example usage/output so folks can see what it does literally.

Late reply: Ah thanks

Being a lazy slob, I never saw fit to make a dedicated repo (or even, directory) so I have no place for a readme. After all the whole thing fits in one script.

Gron is a great name and the output looks pretty good... I like the idea of outputting perfectly valid javascript (with semicolons, even...)

Let's see if HN will format this sample output from mommyjson right:
