I had earlier sent an email to dm-devel proposing we add a feature

Having an option for the  CLI to output in JSON would allow higher
level applications to more easily monitor/manage multipath.

I thought it was best to take advantage of some of the existing
snprintf_xxx functions rather than adding a library dependency
to multipathd.

Will add code for groups next if this is accepted.

XML is better standardized than JSON, so why to use JSON? An overview of the advantages of XML is available on http://www.yegor256.com/2015/11/16/json-vs-xml.html. A good overview of JSON and also of some of its disadvantages is available on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON.

Sorry that I missed your previous e-mail about this topic.

Bart.
