Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

jc: Converts the output of popular command-line tools to JSON
> In FreeBSD, this problem was solved with libxo[0]:
Libxo happens to be in the base system, but it is generally available:

* https://libxo.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Or make it flexible:

* https://wiki.freebsd.org/LibXo
Want structure? Ask for JSON or XML and parse. Otherwise it's the regular text output.

Jc – JSONifies the output of many CLI tools
Can you trust it? Cli tool output is not exactly stable. I thought that's why libxo exists?

Curl gets a --json flag
Please consider https://github.com/Juniper/libxo or something even better than that.

You shouldn't parse the output of ls(1)
That would look a lot like FreeBSD. Many of the FreeBSD userland tools are set up to use the excellent libxo (https://github.com/Juniper/libxo) to allow the user's choice of how things are output.

Show HN: Jb / json.bash – Command-line tool (and bash library) that creates JSON
How is this different to this https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jc

Why *not* parse `ls` (and what to do instead)
the thing with the coreutils is they provide basic core functionality; you dont need bash on your system - `ls` is not bash (and then you still end up with busybox where json still would not be part of ls). add more utilities to your system to do more complex logic; ive used similar apps to this in the past: https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jc
there's also using zero terminiated lines in ls with `--zero`; then piping that to a number of apps which also support similar (read,xargs,ect)
might also checkout powershell on linux which may suite your needs where instead of string manipulation, everything is a class object

Xonsh: Python-powered, cross-platform, Unix-gazing shell
https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/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."

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.
