2.1.8 JSON Support in Exascale Shell (XSH)

Oracle Exadata System Software release 25.2.0 introduces JSON support in the Exascale shell command-line interface (XSH). Using this feature, you can instruct XSH to provide command output in JSON format. This capability enables the production of complex output in JSON format for parsing by downstream processes.

The JSON output provided by XSH supports additional details, which may include the command string, XSH version, trace location, wallet location, and error code. By default, the JSON is in a human-readable format with standardized spacing and indentation. Optionally, you can request JSON output in a condensed format optimized for digital processing without unnecessary white space or indentation.
