15. A system, comprising: a processor; and a memory for storing program modules and data, including: an object-based administrative tool framework for parsing an input data stream and based on data being derived from the parsing, instantiating one or more application programming interfaces (APIs), wherein at least one or more APIs is utilized to construct one or more objects to represent the parsed data, populate and validate contents of the one or more objects, and pass the one or more objects through a pipeline being exposed within a user-interface command application for further processing; a template for describing text output generated from a source, the template comprising an object state indicator for determining whether a live object is to be created, wherein the created live object includes a method that is directly invocable by one of the one or more APIs within the object-based administrative tool framework, wherein the template includes a field indicator and a corresponding field pattern; and a conversion component for converting, when the object state indicator does not indicate creating the live object, the text output into a dead object, wherein the text output is not in a standardized format and the dead object does not have a method that is directly invocable, wherein the converting the text output into a dead object includes invoking the one or more APIs to create a hash object, and wherein the field indicator and the field pattern are utilized by the one or more APIs to process one or more objects created within the object-based administrative tool framework.
22. The system of claim 15 , wherein the conversion component is configured to: collect the text output as an array of strings, each string representing one line within the text output; obtain an object type for the string that matches the object header pattern; obtain a field type for the string that matches the field pattern; and create the dead object based on the object type and the field type.
