This seems very fragile, to me, without support from the application whose output is converted to JSON.

minor updates to command-line tools can and do subtly alter the textual output of the tool, and the outputs of these tools are not standardized.

This is a step towards "objects passing messages" as originally conceived by Alan Kay, if my incomplete understanding of what he's said is correct, and that's a good thing, I think. Objects passing messages around is a very solid model for computing, to me. Note that I am stupid and don't understand much, if I'm honest.
