Linux CLI apps should have a JSON flag
Created on 2024-02-14T15:03:58-06:00
Structured outputs such as JSON allow a program to communicate data at a higher level than text.
CLI software should offer a command line flag to give this structured output.
Streaming outputs could be accomplished by writing multiple structured documents to the output; as is done with JSON loggers today.
Iced note: basically what powershell wanted to do.
