[Feature request] Add structured output like JSON to make output parsing easier

[eugenesvk]

vs. having to do error-prone text output manipulations

Yeah. It could be cool integration with Nushell!!

This is the only feature that lead me to look for ps alternatives. A --delimiter option would be really great, hopefully it will be implemented some day!

I tried to add JSON output support like below at #735:

$ procs --json
[
{"PID": "314918", "User": "hatta", "│": "│", "State": "S", "Nice": "0", "TTY": "pts/31", "CPU": "0.0", "MEM": "0.0", "VmSize": "244.980M", "VmRSS": "90.730M", "TCP": "[]", "UDP": "[]", "Read": "0", "Write": "0", "│": "│", "CPU Time": "00:00:26", "Start": "2024/10/24 18:37", "Elapsed": "10.7weeks", "Docker": "", "│": "│", "Command": "-zsh"}
]

How about it?

I think the data is naturally stored as a table, and could be nicely piped as delimited rows. However, JSON is structured and easy enough to transform, so thank you for implementing the feature! I will try it out!

If you have another idea about JSON format, please tell me.
