[Package request] jc

[paoloschi]

jc JSONifies the output of many CLI tools and file-types for easier parsing in scripts.
This allows further command-line processing of output with tools like jq or jello by piping commands...
The jc parsers can also be used as python modules. In this case the output will be a python dictionary, or list of dictionaries, instead of JSON

note that for parsing XML files, jc also depends on the python3-xmltodict package:

$ curl -s 'https://www.w3schools.com/xml/note.xml' | jc --xml
jc:  Error - Parser issue with xml:
             LibraryNotInstalled: The xmltodict library is not installed.
             If this is the correct parser, try setting the locale to C (LANG=C).
             For details use the -d or -dd option. Use "jc -h --xml" for help.

after installed python3-xmltodict:

$ curl -s 'https://www.w3schools.com/xml/note.xml' | jc --xml

Sorry about that, it's been fixed.
