Currently the playbook runs a task which generates a result file in /tmp/result.out  
Then it runs a parsing python script I put in common/files/parser.py and passes /tmp/result.out to the script as a parameter. The script prints to STDOUT the parsed results in a JSON format as such

{  
“elapsed\_time”: “5”,  
“foo”: “bar”  
“foos”: { “afoo”: “abar”}  
}

Everything here works. So now how do I go from this to being able to put the above JSON string into a nosql database such as mongodb or orientdb?
