A CLI tool and Python library that converts the output of popular command-line tools, file types, and common strings into JSON, YAML, or Python dictionaries. It enables piping command output to tools like jq and simplifies parsing in automation scripts.

Use cases

• convert command output to json in shell scripts
• pipe dig or ls output to jq
• parse linux command output in python
• make bash scripts easier to parse tool output
• convert config file types to yaml or json
• use command output parsing in ansible playbooks

When to choose

• you need structured JSON from CLI tool output for scripting or automation
• you want a Python library with parsers for many command outputs and file types
• you pipe command output into jq or similar JSON tools

When to avoid

• you need to parse formats or commands not in jc's supported parser list
• you need extremely high-performance parsing of huge data streams
• you only work with already-structured output like JSON APIs
