What problem does it solve?

This Skill simplifies the parsing of command-line tool output, transforming unstructured text into a machine-readable JSON format for easier analysis and integration into scripts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured Data Conversion: Converts output from various CLI tools (like ps, dig, netstat, ls) into JSON.
  • Script Integration: Enables seamless piping of command output to tools like jq or custom scripts for advanced processing.
  • Use Case: You need to extract specific network interface details from ifconfig output. Pipe the output to jc --ifconfig and then use jq to select the IP address field.

Quick Start

Use the jc skill to convert the output of the 'ps aux' command into JSON format.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert command line output to JSON format?

To convert command line output to JSON, you can use a parsing tool that transforms raw text from system, network, file, package, log, and development tool outputs into structured JSON data for programmatic analysis.

Can I parse output from network commands like dig or netstat into structured data?

Yes, you can parse network command output into structured data. The tool supports converting outputs from commands like dig and netstat into machine-readable JSON objects.

How do I integrate parsed CLI output with jq for advanced script processing?

You can integrate parsed CLI output with jq by piping the converted JSON data directly into jq or custom scripts, enabling seamless advanced processing and field selection.

Does the tool support converting output from system commands like ps and ls?

Yes, the tool supports converting output from system commands. It can parse outputs from commands like ps and ls, transforming the unstructured text into machine-readable JSON structures.

What is the best way to extract specific fields from unstructured command line logs?

The best way to extract specific fields from unstructured command line logs is to convert the output into structured JSON first, then use a tool like jq to select the exact data fields required.

Are there limitations when parsing development tool outputs into JSON?

The tool relies on a library of parsers to transform raw text into JSON, meaning it is limited to supported system, network, file, package, log, and development tool outputs for accurate data conversion.
