jq fails to parse the json output

Doesnt look like it's json but only 'json-like':

mmdblookup --file /GeoLite2-City_20220930/GeoLite2-City.mmdb --ip 1.1.1.1 | jq

parse error: Invalid numeric literal at line 7, column 0

mmdblookup does not output JSON. As you note, the output is only JSON-like. The tool is primarily targeted towards developers integrating libmaxmindb into their application. If you want JSON in a tool aimed at end users, please use mmdbinspect.
