Re: A brief look at deprecating our JSON extensions over RFC 8259

However, doing the > interpolation requires a parser that recognizes the single-quoted strings. IMHO this is the wrong solution to the problem. Consider the equivalent libvirt code that uses a standard JSON library underneath and has a high level API to serialize args into the command qemuMonitorJSONMakeCommand("qom-get", "s:path", id, "s:property", "temperature"); Of course this example is reasonably easy since it is a flat set of arguments. Nested args get slightly more complicated, but still always preferrable to doing string interpolation IMHO.
