> `jc` is available as an
[Ansible filter plugin](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/community/general/jc_filter.html#ansible-collections-community-general-jc-filter)
in the `community.general` collection. See this
[blog post](https://blog.kellybrazil.com/2020/08/30/parsing-command-output-in-ansible-with-jc/)
for an example.

# JC
JSON Convert

`jc` JSONifies the output of many CLI tools, file-types, and common strings
for easier parsing in scripts. See the [**Parsers**](#parsers) section for
supported commands, file-types, and strings.
```bash
dig example.com | jc --dig
```
```json
[{"id":38052,"opcode":"QUERY","status":"NOERROR","flags":["qr","rd","ra"],
"query_num":1,"answer_num":1,"authority_num":0,"additional_num":1,
"opt_pseudosection":{"edns":{"version":0,"flags":[],"udp":4096}},"question":
{"name":"example.com.","class":"IN","type":"A"},"answer":[{"name":
"example.com.","class":"IN","type":"A","ttl":39049,"data":"93.184.216.34"}],
"query_time":49,"server":"2600:1700:bab0:d40::1#53(2600:1700:bab0:d40::1)",
"when":"Fri Apr 16 16:09:00 PDT 2021","rcvd":56,"when_epoch":1618614540,
"when_epoch_utc":null}]
```

This allows further command-line processing of output with tools like `jq`
or [`jello`](https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jello) by piping commands:
```bash
$ dig example.com | jc --dig | jq -r '.[].answer[].data'
93.184.216.34
```

or using the alternative "magic" syntax:

```bash
$ jc dig example.com | jq -r '.[].answer[].data'
93.184.216.34
```

`jc` can also be used as a python library. In this case the returned value
will be a python dictionary, a list of dictionaries, or even a
[lazy iterable of dictionaries](#using-streaming-parsers-as-python-modules)
instead of JSON:
```python
>>> import subprocess
>>> import jc
>>>
>>> cmd_output = subprocess.check_output(['dig', 'example.com'], text=True)
>>> data = jc.parse('dig', cmd_output)
>>>
>>> data[0]['answer']
[{'name': 'example.com.', 'class': 'IN', 'type': 'A', 'ttl': 29658, 'data':
'93.184.216.34'}]
```

> For `jc` Python package documentation, use `help('jc')`, `help('jc.lib')`, or
see the [online documentation](https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jc/tree/master/docs).

Two representations of the data are available. The default representation uses a
strict schema per parser and converts known numbers to int/float JSON values.
Certain known values of `None` are converted to JSON `null`, known boolean
values are converted, and, in some cases, additional semantic context fields are
added.

To access the raw, pre-processed JSON, use the `-r` cli option or the `raw=True`
function parameter in `parse()` when using `jc` as a python library.

Schemas for each parser can be found at the documentation link beside each
[**Parser**](#parsers) below.

Release notes can be found in the [Releases section](https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jc/releases) on Github.

### Binaries
For precompiled binaries, see [Releases](https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jc/releases)
on Github.

## Usage
`jc` accepts piped input from `STDIN` and outputs a JSON representation of the
previous command's output to `STDOUT`.
```bash
COMMAND | jc [SLICE] [OPTIONS] PARSER
cat FILE | jc [SLICE] [OPTIONS] PARSER
echo STRING | jc [SLICE] [OPTIONS] PARSER
```

Alternatively, the "magic" syntax can be used by prepending `jc` to the command
to be converted or in front of the absolute path for Proc files. Options can be
passed to `jc` immediately before the command or Proc file path is given.
(Note: command aliases and shell builtins are not supported)
```bash
jc [SLICE] [OPTIONS] COMMAND
jc [SLICE] [OPTIONS] /proc/<path-to-procfile>
```

The JSON output can be compact (default) or pretty formatted with the `-p`
option.
