A collection of TextFSM templates for parsing CLI show command output from network devices, plus a Python wrapper around TextFSM's CliTable. It converts raw command output from vendors like Cisco, Juniper, and Arista into structured, machine-readable data.

Use cases

• parse cisco show commands into structured data
• convert network device CLI output to
• parse show ip interface brief output
• extract structured data from router command output
• normalize network device command output across vendors
• automate network device output parsing in python

When to choose

• you need to parse CLI output from a wide range of network vendors into structured data
• you are building network automation tooling in Python and want community-maintained templates
• you want a standard, tested template repository instead of writing your own TextFSM templates

When to avoid

• your devices expose APIs (NETCONF, RESTCONF) that return structured data natively
• you need to parse output from a device or command not covered by the existing templates and cannot contribute one
• you need full configuration management rather than output parsing
