jc - JSON Convert traceroute command output parser

Supports traceroute and traceroute6 output.

Note: On some operating systems you will need to redirect STDERR to STDOUT for destination info since the header line is sent to STDERR. A warning message will be printed to STDERR if the header row is not found.

e.g. $ traceroute 8.8.8.8 2>&1 | jc --traceroute

Usage (cli):

$ traceroute 1.2.3.4 | jc --traceroute

or

$ jc traceroute 1.2.3.4

Usage (module):

import jc
result = jc.parse('traceroute', traceroute_command_output)

Schema:

{
  "destination_ip":         string,
  "destination_name":       string,
  "hops": [
    {
      "hop":                integer,
      "probes": [
        {
          "annotation":     string,
          "asn":            integer,

          "rtt":            float
        }
      ]
    }
