Subject: [PATCH] bootctl: make --json output normal json
|
|
|
|
We would output a sequence of concatenated JSON strings. 'jq' accepts such
|
|
output without fuss, and can even automatically build an array with --slurp/-s.
|
|
Nevertheless, parsing this format is more effort for the reader, since it's not
|
|
"standard JSON". E.g. Python's json module cannot do this out-of-the-box, but
|
|
needs some loop with json.JSONDecoder.raw_decode() and then collecting the
|
|
objects into an array. Such streaming output make sense in case of logs, where
|
|
we stream the output and it has no predefined length. But here we expect at
|
|
most a few dozen entries, so it's nicer to write normal JSON that is trivial to
|
|
parse.
|
|
|
|
I'm treating this is a bugfix and not attempting to provide compatibility
|
|
backwards. I don't think the previous format was seeing much use, and it's
|
|
trivial to adapt to the new one.
|
|
|
|
