You seem to be pretty close to Nushell, which was mentioned in the article. The Nushell `ls` (and `ps`, etc.) builtins generate structured data that can be sorted, queried, reduced, and then transformed to many different types of structured data.
$ ls | get 0 | select modified | to json
{
"modified": "2022-08-16 16:38:28 -04:00"
}
The internal data format looks pretty JSON-like, with the added ability to keep Nushell types intact.
While I'm not ready to replace Fish with Nushell, it's definitely taken the place of jq for me.
