Bug#962239: RFP: jc -- converts command output to JSON

Show key headers only | View raw

Hi Python Team!

I’m the developer of jc - a tool that converts the output of dozens of command and file-types to JSON so you can use tools like jq to parse the output.

For example:

$ ls -l /usr/bin | jc --ls | jq '.[] | select(.size > 50000000)'
{
  "filename": "docker",
  "flags": "-rwxr-xr-x",
  "links": 1,
  "owner": "root",
  "group": "root",
  "size": 68677120,
  "date": "Aug 14 19:41"
}

or using the alternative "magic" syntax:

$ jc ls -l /usr/bin | jq '.[] | select(.size > 50000000)'
{
  "filename": "docker",
  "flags": "-rwxr-xr-x",
  "links": 1,
  "owner": "root",
  "group": "root",
  "size": 68677120,
  "date": "Aug 14 19:41"
}

I have a Request For Package open at https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=962239.

Please consider packaging jc. It is currently packaged for OpenSUSE, NixOS, macOS (Homebrew), and FreeBSD (ports). jc is currently in process for packaging on Fedora.

Thank you,
Kelly Brazil
