Ask HN: JSON Output for CLI Tools?

I am currently our public command-line tool some love and although we officially have an `--output=json` flag, it rarely works or does anything useful.

* While thinking about how to fix/implement this for more commands I was wondering if this kind of more structured output is actually of interest/use for developers/devops/SRE?

Some context: The tool in question is a client for our API and used for validation + updating resources and triggering long running loadtest jobs. Users are developers, although we also recommend it for integration into CI/CD pipelines etc.

Any feedback is welcome :)
