Not 100h yet but I've been replacing custom Linux command output parsing with https://kellyjonbrazil.github.io/jc/ (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33448204) lately.

I know this is the modulair way with piping. How would ` jc command args` be as opposed to `command args | jc —-command`?

Both ways work:

    $ jc ifconfig lo0

    $ ifconfig lo0 | jc --ifconfig

That actually looks nice! (I've written at least 10,000 perl one-liners.)

Will definitely check it out.
