Research direction

Start by mapping the gh-classroom commands whose results would need machine-readable output and reviewing their current output behavior. Define the JSON and CSV scope, then verify that both formats support scripting without text parsing.

Description

enhancement

Would be good to have an option to output the results of these commands as raw JSON and/or structured CSV to enable more complex scripting without the need for potentially problematic text parsing.
