[PATCH v2 0/5] dumpe2fs: add JSON output format

[Viktor Prutyanov <viktor.prutyanov@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This collection of patches adds support of JSON format.
First patch adds helpers for creating structured objects and printing such objects in JSON format.
Others use these helpers for all info from existing operation modes.

After these patches, for example, using jq utility, we can easily print "blocks" field from specific group:

dumpe2fs /dev/sdb2 -j | jq -r '.desc[] | select(.num == "5") | {blocks:.blocks}'

{
  "blocks": {
    "first": "163840",
    "last": "196607"
  }
}

Helpers can later be easily extended to support new output formats (not only JSON).

Viktor Prutyanov (5):
  libsupport: add JSON output helpers
  dumpe2fs: add JSON output of block groups
  dumpe2fs: add JSON output of superblock
  dumpe2fs: add JSON output of journal
  dumpe2fs: add JSON output of bad blocks
