python:

https://docs.python.org/3/library/json.html

c:

https://github.com/vincenthz/libjson
https://github.com/json-c/json-c

etc.  There are lots.

jq looks decent if you have some reason to want a command line tool
for it.  I haven't tried it.  I have only ever wanted to deal with json
data in an application.  Fortunately. :)
