JC
JSON CLI output utility
jc is used to JSONify the output of many standard linux cli tools for easier parsing in scripts. See the Parsers section for supported commands.
This allows further command line processing of output with tools like jq simply by piping commands:
$ ls -l /usr/bin | jc --ls | jq '.[] | select(.bytes > 50000000)'
{
"filename": "emacs",
"flags": "-r-xr-xr-x",
"links": 1,
"owner": "root",
"group": "wheel",
"bytes": 117164432,
"date": "May 3 22:26"
}
The jc parsers can also be used as python modules:
>>> 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)
[{'filename': 'cat', 'flags': '-rwxr-xr-x', 'links': 1, 'owner': 'root', 'group': 'wheel',
'bytes': 23648, 'date': 'May 3 22:26'}, {'filename': 'chmod', 'flags': '-rwxr-xr-x', 'links': 1,

'flags': '-rwxr-xr-x', 'links': 1, 'owner': 'root', 'group': 'wheel', 'bytes': 29024,
'date': 'May 3 22:26'}, {'filename': 'csh', 'flags': '-rwxr-xr-x', 'links': 1, 'owner': 'root',
'group': 'wheel', 'bytes': 375824, 'date': 'May 3 22:26'}, {'filename': 'date',
'flags': '-rwxr-xr-x', 'links': 1, 'owner': 'root', 'group': 'wheel', 'bytes': 28608,
'date': 'May 3 22:26'}, {'filename': 'dd', 'flags': '-rwxr-xr-x', 'links': 1, 'owner': 'root',
'group': 'wheel', 'bytes': 32000, 'date': 'May 3 22:26'}, {'filename': 'df', 'flags': '-rwxr-xr-x',
'links': 1, 'owner': 'root', 'group': 'wheel', 'bytes': 23392, 'date': 'May 3 22:26'},
{'filename': 'echo', 'flags': '-rwxr-xr-x', 'links': 1, 'owner': 'root', 'group': 'wheel',
'bytes': 18128, 'date': 'May 3 22:26'}]
In this case the output will be a python dictionary instead of JSON.
Installation
$ pip3 install jc
Usage
jc [parser] [options]
jc accepts piped input from STDIN and outputs a JSON representation of the previous command's output to STDOUT. The JSON output can be compact or pretty formatted.

Options

Description
CLI tool and python library that converts the output of popular command-line tools, file-types, and common strings to JSON, YAML, or Dictionaries. This allows piping of output to tools like jq and simplifying automation scripts.
