Which output formats does the AWS CLI support?

The AWS CLI primarily supports output formats that are designed to facilitate easy parsing and readability. These include ASCII-formatted tables, JSON, and Tab-delimited text. Each of these formats serves a specific purpose:

• The ASCII-formatted table is useful for displaying data in a structured manner that is easy to read in the terminal. It organizes the output in columns and rows, making it clear and concise.

• JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is widely used for data interchange. It's structured and allows for complex data types, making it ideal for programmatic access and processing.

• Tab-delimited text allows for easy export of tabular data, which can then be used in spreadsheet applications or other data processing tools.

Other output formats such as XML, CSV, YAML, plain text, HTML, and Markdown are not standard outputs for AWS CLI commands. While some may be useful in certain contexts, they are not officially supported formats for the CLI. Therefore, the correct response highlights the specific formats that AWS has defined for CLI output, ensuring compatibility with various use cases in cloud operations.
