Yeah but ip, and ls, and cat /etc/somefile.conf, and pretty much anything asides from curl don't output structured data so you can't use jq on it.

That was just an example of a pipeline. jq can parse plain text easily with split/map as well.

Also:

ls -l

ip -o

I know about `ls -l` (and have for about 25 years now, thanks). You're still scraping.
