# jc
JC - JSON CLI output utility
* kellyjonbrazil@gmail.com
This package serializes the output of many standard unix command line tools
to dictionaries and lists of dictionaries.
## Interactive Documentation
>>> help(jc)
>>> help(jc.lib)
>>> help(jc.util)
>>> jc.get_help('parser_module_name')
## Online Documentation
### Latest
https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jc/tree/master/docs
### Specific Version
Replace `{{full_version_number}}` - e.g. `1.17.7`:
`https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jc/tree/v{{full_version_number}}/docs`
Specific versions can also be selected by tag in the branch dropdown menu.
## Usage Example
>>> import subprocess
>>> import jc
>>>
>>> cmd_output = subprocess.check_output(['dig', 'example.com'],
text=True)
>>> data = jc.parse('dig', cmd_output)
>>> data
[{'id': 64612, 'opcode': 'QUERY', 'status': 'NOERROR', ...}]
Alternatively, you can bypass the high-level API and call the parser
modules directly:
>>> import subprocess
>>> import jc.parsers.dig
>>>
>>> cmd_output = subprocess.check_output(['dig', 'example.com'],
text=True)
>>> data = jc.parsers.dig.parse(cmd_output)
>>> data
[{'id': 64612, 'opcode': 'QUERY', 'status': 'NOERROR', ...}]
## Available Functions
Use `help(jc.lib)` for details:
parse(parser_module_name: str, data: str | iterable)
High-level API to easily access the parser. This API will find both
built-in parsers and local plugin parsers.
get_help(parser_module_name: str)
Convenience function to display the help screen for a parser using
its module name.
parser_mod_list()
Get a list of all available parser module names to be used in
parse() and get_help().
plugin_parser_mod_list()
Get a list of plugin parser module names. This list is a subset of
parser_mod_list().
