Virsh list all in json

The following bash command will list all virsh guests in json.

echo "[ $(virsh list --all|grep -Ev 'Id|----'|awk '{print "{ \"id\": \""$1"\", \"name\": \""$2"\", \"state\": \""$3 $4"\"}," }'|head -n -1) {} ]"|jq -r

Output example:

[
  {
    "id": "38",
    "name": "Mac",
    "state": "running"
  },
  {
    "id": "39",
    "name": "Dennis",
    "state": "running"
  },
  {
    "id": "40",
    "name": "Charlie",
    "state": "running"
  },
...
