# JC
JSON CLI output utility

`jc` JSONifies the output of many CLI tools and file-types for easier parsing in scripts. See the [**Parsers**](#parsers) section for supported commands and file-types.

This allows further command-line processing of output with tools like `jq` by piping commands:
```json
$ ls -l /usr/bin | jc --ls | jq '.[] | select(.size > 50000000)'
{
  "filename": "docker",
  "flags": "-rwxr-xr-x",
  "links": 1,
  "owner": "root",
  "group": "root",
  "size": 68677120,
  "date": "Aug 14 19:41"
}
```
or using the alternative "magic" syntax:
```json
$ jc ls -l /usr/bin | jq '.[] | select(.size > 50000000)'
{
  "filename": "docker",
  "flags": "-rwxr-xr-x",
  "links": 1,
  "owner": "root",
  "group": "root",
  "size": 68677120,
  "date": "Aug 14 19:41"
}
```
The `jc` parsers can also be used as python modules. In this case the output will be a python dictionary, or list of dictionaries, instead of JSON:
```python
>>> import jc.parsers.ls
>>> 
>>> data='''-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel    23648 May  3 22:26 cat
... -rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel    30016 May  3 22:26 chmod
... -rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel    29024 May  3 22:26 cp
... -rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   375824 May  3 22:26 csh
... -rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel    28608 May  3 22:26 date
... -rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel    32000 May  3 22:26 dd
... -rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel    23392 May  3 22:26 df
... -rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel    18128 May  3 22:26 echo'''
>>>
>>> jc.parsers.ls.parse(data)

'date': 'May 3 22:26'}]
```
Two representations of the data are possible. The default representation uses a strict schema per parser and converts known numbers to int/float JSON values. Certain known values of `None` are converted to JSON `null`, known boolean values are converted, and, in some cases, additional semantic context fields are added.

To access the raw, pre-processed JSON, use the `-r` cli option or the `raw=True` function parameter in `parse()`.

Schemas for each parser can be found in the [`docs/parsers`](https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jc/tree/master/docs/parsers) folder.

## Why Would Anyone Do This?!
For more information on the motivations for this project, please see my [blog post](https://blog.kellybrazil.com/2019/11/26/bringing-the-unix-philosophy-to-the-21st-century/).

## Installation
There are several ways to get `jc`. You can install via `pip`; other OS package repositories like `dnf`, `zypper`, `nix-env`, `brew`, or `portsnap`; via DEB/RPM packages; or by downloading the correct binary for your architecture and running it anywhere on your filesystem.

### Pip (macOS, linux, unix, Windows)
```bash
pip3 install jc
```

### OS Package Repositories
#### Dnf (Fedora linux)
```bash
dnf install jc
```
or
```bash
dnf --enablerepo=updates-testing install jc
```

#### Zypper (openSUSE linux)
```bash
zypper install jc
```

#### Nix-env (NixOS linux)
```bash
nix-env -iA nixpkgs.jc
```

#### Brew (macOS)
```bash
brew install jc
```

#### Ports (FreeBSD)
```bash
portsnap fetch update && cd /usr/ports/textproc/py-jc && make install clean
```

### Packages and Binaries
Please see https://kellyjonbrazil.github.io/jc-packaging/ for details.

## Usage
`jc` accepts piped input from `STDIN` and outputs a JSON representation of the previous command's output to `STDOUT`.
```bash
COMMAND | jc PARSER [OPTIONS]
```
Alternatively, the "magic" syntax can be used by prepending `jc` to the command to be converted. Options can be passed to `jc` immediately before the command is given. (Note: command aliases are not supported)
```bash
jc [OPTIONS] COMMAND
```
The JSON output can be compact (default) or pretty formatted with the `-p` option.

- `-m` monochrome JSON output
- `-p` pretty format the JSON output
- `-q` quiet mode. Suppresses warning messages
- `-r` raw output. Provides a more literal JSON output with all values as strings and no additional sematic processing

### Setting Custom Colors via Environment Variable
You can specify custom colors via the `JC_COLORS` environment variable. The `JC_COLORS` environment variable takes four comma separated string values in the following format:
```bash
JC_COLORS=<keyname_color>,<keyword_color>,<number_color>,<string_color>
```
Where colors are: `black`, `red`, `green`, `yellow`, `blue`, `magenta`, `cyan`, `gray`, `brightblack`, `brightred`, `brightgreen`, `brightyellow`, `brightblue`, `brightmagenta`, `brightcyan`, `white`, or  `default`

For example, to set to the default colors:
```bash
JC_COLORS=blue,brightblack,magenta,green
```
or
```bash
JC_COLORS=default,default,default,default
```

### Custom Parsers
Custom local parser plugins may be placed in a `jc/jcparsers` folder in your local **"App data directory"**:

- Linux/unix: `$HOME/.local/share/jc/jcparsers`
- macOS: `$HOME/Library/Application Support/jc/jcparsers`
- Windows: `$LOCALAPPDATA\jc\jc\jcparsers`

Local parser plugins are standard python module files. Use the [`jc/parsers/foo.py`](https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jc/blob/master/jc/parsers/foo.py) parser as a template and simply place a `.py` file in the `jcparsers` subfolder.

Local plugin filenames must be valid python module names, therefore must consist entirely of alphanumerics and start with a letter. Local plugins may override default plugins.

> Note: The application data directory follows the [XDG Base Directory Specification](https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html)

## Compatibility
Some parsers like `ls`, `ps`, `dig`, etc. will work on any platform. Other parsers that are platform-specific will generate a warning message if they are used on an unsupported platform. To see all parser information, including compatibility, run `jc -ap`.

You may still use a parser on an unsupported platform - for example, you may want to parse a file with linux `lsof` output on an OSX laptop. In that case you can suppress the warning message with the `-q` cli option or the `quiet=True` function parameter in `parse()`:

```bash
cat lsof.out | jc --lsof -q
```

Tested on:
- Centos 7.7
- Ubuntu 18.4
- Fedora32
- OSX 10.11.6
- OSX 10.14.6
- NixOS
- FreeBSD12

## Contributions
Feel free to add/improve code or parsers! You can use the [`jc/parsers/foo.py`](https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jc/blob/master/jc/parsers/foo.py) parser as a template and submit your parser with a pull request.
