I use jq a lot in bash. That's a good part of an object pipeline. curl | jq | grep/awk | jq | curl

  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.
