Frage
Which version of macOS (OS X) first included -json
switch in system_profiler
?
Lösung
It was introduced in Catalina.
JSON wasn’t standardized until 2013 and Apple rarely implements new technology that hasn’t been standardized. Looking at a man page from 10.9 (Mavericks) which was also released in 2013, the -json
flag was not available.
It’s also not available in Mojave as the man page for that version doesn’t indicate the flag either. I’ve tested it in Catalina and confirmed it exists there
