cheshire

Clojure JSON and JSON SMILE (binary json format) encoding/decoding (by dakrone)

jc

CLI tool and python library that converts the output of popular command-line tools, file-types, and common strings to JSON, YAML, or Dictionaries. This allows piping of output to tools like jq and simplifying automation scripts. (by kellyjonbrazil)

  • Zq: An Easier (and Faster) Alternative to Jq

    For me, transforming JSON on the command line was a pain, another DSL to learn. Now, I can just use Babashka/ Clojure + one or two functions from Cheshire https://github.com/dakrone/cheshire where I need to. If I needed a standalone tool, I would perhaps reach for https://github.com/borkdude/jet by the same author, Michiel Borkent, as Babashka or use jq that everybody else would find more familiar.

  • Gooey: Turn almost any Python command line program into a full GUI application

    > I'd love to see programs communicate through a typed JSON/proto format that shed enough details to make this more independent, and get useful shell command structuring/completion or full blown GUIs from simply introspecting the expected input and output types.

    You should try PowerShell. It's basically Microsoft's .NET ecosystem molded into an interactive command line. I'm not entirely sure if PoweShell can make full use of the static types that build up its core, but its ability to exchange objects in the command line is almost unmatched.

    On Linux you can use `jc` (https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jc) combined with `jq` (https://jqlang.github.io/jq/) to glue together command lines.

    In addition to my previous comment about jq-like tools, I want to share a couple other interesting tools, which I use alongside jq are jo [0] and jc [1].

    > I wanted to write some wrappers for the standard commands that automatically did all this via `jq`.

    If you're not already aware of it, you may wish to check out `jc`[0] which describes itself as a "CLI tool and python library that converts the output of popular command-line tools, file-types, and common strings to JSON, YAML, or Dictionaries. This allows piping of output to tools like jq..."

    The `jc` documentation[1] & parser[2] for `ls` also demonstrates that reliable & cross-platform parsing of even "basic" commands can be non-trivial.
