Multiline for multiple values within square brackets

Thanks for this tool! Would there be a way to make jtbl recognize that values separated by commas within square brackets should be on new lines, with json files of the following structure?

{
  "Date": [
    "2021-08-24 21:00:00",
    "2021-08-24 21:00:00",
    "2021-08-24 21:00:00",
    "2021-08-24 21:00:00",
    "2021-08-24 21:00:00",
    "2021-08-24 21:00:00",
    "2021-08-24 21:00:00",
    "2021-08-24 21:00:00",
    "2021-08-24 21:00:00",
    "2021-08-24 21:00:00",
    "2021-08-24 21:00:00",
    "2021-08-24 21:00:00",
    "2021-08-24 21:00:00"
  ],
  "Location": [
    "Indonesia - TERNATE/BABULLAH",
    "Bolivia - TRINIDAD",
    "United States - PENSACOLA, FL",
    "Russian Federation - IVDEL'",
    "India - GULBARGA",
    "Honduras - CHOLUTECA",
    "United States - JACKSONVILLE/INTNL.,  FL.",
    "Honduras - LA MESA (SAN PEDRO SULA)",
    "Russian Federation - JARCEVO",
    "Russian Federation - VEL' MO",
    "Azerbaijan - GUBA",
    "Niger - NIAMEY-AERO",
    "Vietnam - PHU LIEN"
  ]
}

Currently, when I pipe that into jtbl, it just shows a table with two columns and a single row containing all values separated by commas.

I opened a feature request to investigate how to do this. (#7)

Awesome! Now the json file indeed is much easier to read, and I can simplify the bash script:

print() {
    if [ -z "$1" ]; then
        cod="$(fzf < "$WE_DIR"/setup/codes.txt)"
        jello < "$WE_DIR"/data/"$cod".json
    else
        cod=$(echo "$1" | tr '[:lower:]' '[:upper:]')
        jello < "$WE_DIR"/data/"$cod".json
    fi
}

table() {
    print "$1" | jtbl -n | less -S
}

This is getting exciting! I need to focus on better implementing fzf (handle multi selections, offer only available data and not the full list, possibly prompt for scraping if not already done) and adding human-readable categories, but on the Python side I think my main issue will be when repeating requests multiple times: this appends the new result to the existing json file, but won’t check for duplicates. I’ll check your repositories, I see that there are a lot of json manipulation tools and maybe there’s already something to deal with this issue.
