Ask HN: Is there a repository of man pages in a JSON-like format?

Man pages are obviously the default way to see a description of a command-line utility and what flags/args they take. I'm contributing to a project at the moment where it would be super useful to have some way of importing the description of a command and its args into some standardized format (JSON, YAML, whatever), but it's proving tough to find anything out there. Are there any projects/repositories that have attempted to solve this?
