Map Junos OS Command Output to JSON in the CLI
The Junos® operating system (Junos OS) natively supports XML for the operation and configuration of Junos devices, and the Junos OS CLI and the Junos OS infrastructure communicate using XML. When you issue an operational command or display the configuration in the CLI, the CLI converts the output from XML into a readable text format for display.
Junos devices also support a JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) representation of the
operational command output and the configuration hierarchy. To display the command
output or configuration in JSON instead of in the default formatted ASCII text,
append the | display json option to the command in the CLI.
The following example executes the show chassis hardware command
and displays the output in JSON format. The response is identical to the NETCONF or
Junos XML protocol server response for the <get-chassis-inventory
format="json"> RPC request.
user@host> show chassis hardware | display json

}Starting in Junos OS Release 16.1, Junos OS uses a new default implementation for
serialization for configuration data emitted in JSON format. The new default,
ietf, is as defined in the following Internet drafts:
draft-ietf-netmod-yang-json-09, JSON Encoding of Data Modeled with YANG
draft-ietf-netmod-yang-metadata-06, Defining and Using Metadata with YANG
In earlier releases, the default is verbose, which emits all objects
as JSON arrays. You can configure the default export format for JSON configuration
data by configuring the appropriate statement at the [edit system
export-format json] hierarchy level.
By default, Junos devices emit JSON-formatted state data in non-compact format, which
emits all objects as JSON arrays. In Junos OS Release 24.2 and earlier and Junos OS
Evolved Release 24.2 and earlier, Junos devices support emitting the device’s state
data in compact JSON format, in which only objects that have multiple values are
emitted as JSON arrays. To configure the device to emit compact JSON format,
configure the compact statement at the [edit system
export-format state-data json] hierarchy level.
user@host# set system export-format state-data json compact
The following example executes the show system uptime command and
displays the output in both non-compact and compact JSON format.
user@host> show system uptime | display json
The following output shows the non-compact JSON format:
