JSON Explorer CLI

A Java-based command-line tool for parsing, analyzing, and navigating complex JSON structures.
It supports recursion, path-based navigation (e.g., user.name, courses[0].title), color-coded output, and element statistics.

📦 Features

• ✅ Recursively parse and print nested JSON objects and arrays
• ✅ Color-coded output for keys and values (via ANSI escape codes)
• ✅ Path-based navigation to access specific values (e.g. user.name, items[2].details.price)
• ✅ Type statistics: counts how many strings, numbers, booleans, nulls, arrays, and objects
• ✅ Error handling for invalid paths

🧠 Example

Given the input:

{
  "user": {
    "name": "João",
    "skills": ["Java", "Python"]
  },
  "courses": [
    { "title": "Java POO" },
    { "title": "React" }
  ]
}

You can:

• View the entire structure recursively
• Type user.name to get "João"
• Type user.skills[1] to get "Python"
• Type courses[0].title to get "Java POO"

▶️ How to Run

   cd JavaJSON

2. Compile with Maven or your preferred Java build tool (Java 8+):

   mvn clean package

3. Run:

   java -jar target/JavaJSON.jar

4. Paste your JSON when prompted, then use path navigation.
