I had earlier sent an email to dm-devel proposing we add a feature in multipathd to output multipath map topology in JSON format. This patch contains to the code for that 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.
