I feel like the fundamental problem here is unstable output you have to parse to begin with that might break later on. Introducing JSON presents the data in a way that any tool that understands JSON can work with, whether that be jq or Nushell.
Honestly, not sure how I feel about JSON in general here though, unless we plan on just adding a JSON library to every single utility. I don't know what I want here but I know I don't like how it currently is.
