[BUG?] Bluetoothctl Not Parsing Correctly

[Stetsed]

I am currently trying to integrate JC into my workflow due to it allow me to much easier create widgets with JSON data. I'm trying to parse the bluetoothctl devices command but it isn't filling in most of the classes. And even when I use bluetooth info MAC and then parse that it doesn't get it either while the command does output it.

❯ bluetoothctl info DF:1C:C3:B4:1A:1F | jc --bluetoothctl -p
[
  {
    "name": "M585/M590",
    "is_public": false,
    "address": "DF:1C:C3:B4:1A:1F",
    "alias": "M585/M590",
    "class": "",
    "icon": "",
    "paired": "",
    "bonded": "",
    "trusted": "",
    "blocked": "",
    "connected": "",
    "legacy_pairing": "",
    "rssi": 0,
    "txpower": 0,
    "uuids": []
  }
]

Okay I was able to fix it by using JC directly

Edit it turns out to be an issue with my mouse as that's the only thing that outputs JSON wrong

Could you copy paste the mouse bluetoothctl output? Maybe we can fix that.

I also tried switching from the jc package to jc-git and that didn't fix it

@tzeikob want to take a look at this?

[tzeikob]

Sure, I'll try to reproduce the error by passing the output given directly via the bluetoothctl.

My first take on this is that the culprit might be the (random) next to the mac address, where public or none is the expected value.
