Currently the parsing is straight forward with Python: split for
whitespaces and subsequent split for colon to get a key/value list. Supporting
an additional format may be overhead - not sure?! But yeah, JSON formated
output is nice too. The current format has the advantage that it is human
readable and "good" machine parseable. Except the first line:

tcp    ESTAB      0      0 192.168.1.29:58951 208.68.163.218:xmpp-cli

The line has a strict order, so it is not that hard to write a correct parser.


Btw: for people not following google plus circus: I wrote an parser for ss(8)
for plotting TCP stack variables:
