Another tool to look at is `jc`, which parses the output of about 80 classic Unix utilities and converts it to JSON.

It’s been submitted a few times, some with significant discussion:

Something like that would also be great for scripting, not only agents.

But this can be a fair advantage angaints the token usage in AI agents..

Why not CSV?

Really? How?
