From: Roopa Prabhu <redacted> This patch series adds json support for a few bridge show commands. We plan to follow up with json support for additional commands soon.I'm just curious, what is you use case for this? Apps can use rtnetlink socket directly.
most important use case is for automation/orchestration tools. They use existing linux tools to query and configure. Iproute2 output is not machine readable today ...and json is industry standard.
