The author has also written related tools. One to convert XML to JSON and back (https://github.com/ldn-softdev/jtm https://github.com/ldn-softdev/jtm) and another to convert JSON to SQLite tables (https://github.com/ldn-softdev/jsl https://github.com/ldn-softdev/jsl). Combining these with the hxnormalize tool ( https://www.w3.org/Tools/HTML-XML-utils/man1/hxnormalize.html https://www.w3.org/Tools/HTML-XML-utils/man1/hxnormalize.htm...), one can do very sophisticated manipulation on HTML web pages.
HTML -> XML (via hxnormalize) -> JSON (via jtm) -> process using jtc (or even jq)

Things like duplicate attributes of an object can exist in XML, but not in JSON. You can still work-around these limitations if you just have a pipeline using the same toolset, but part of the point of these tools is to then convert them back to a format that some other tool can use, which is where this pattern breaks down.
