# jc.parsers.ping\_s

jc - JSON Convert `ping` command output streaming parser

> This streaming parser outputs JSON Lines (cli) or returns an Iterable of
> Dictionaries (module)

Supports `ping` and `ping6` output.

Usage (cli):

    $ ping 1.2.3.4 | jc --ping-s

> Note: When piping `jc` converted `ping` output to other processes it may
> appear the output is hanging due to the OS pipe buffers. This is because
> `ping` output is too small to quickly fill up the buffer. Use the `-u`
> option to unbuffer the `jc` output if you would like immediate output.
> See the [readme](https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jc/tree/master#unbuffering-output)
> for more information.

Usage (module):

    import jc

    result = jc.parse('ping_s', ping_command_output.splitlines())
    for item in result:
        # do something
