For example, they might need to get the list of URIs, or the dependencies of a package. Although we do have a bunch of rules to generate some of that, this is done in ad-hoc way, with most of the output formats just ad-hoc, raw, unformatted blurbs, mostly internal data dumped as-is. Introduce a new rule, show-info, that provides a properly formatted output of all the meta-information about packages: name, type, version, licenses, dependencies... We choose to use JSON as the output format, because it is pretty versatile, has parsers in virtually all languages, has tools to parse from the shell (jq). It also closely matches Python data structure, which makes it easy to use with our own internal tools as well. Finally, JSON being a key-value store, allows for easy expanding the output without requiring existing consumers to be updated; new, unknown keys are simply ignored by those (as long as they are true JSON parsers). The complex part of this change was the conditional output of parts of the data: virtual packages have no source, version, license or downloads, unlike non-virtual packages. Same goes for filesystems. We use a wrapper macro, show-info, that de-multiplexes unto either the package-related- or filesystem-related macros, and for packages, we also use a detailed macro for non-virtual packages. It is non-trivial to properly output correct JSON blurbs, especially when trying to output an array of objects, like so, where the last item shall not be followed by a comma: [ { ... }, { ... } ] So, we use a trick (as sugegsted by Arnout), to $(subst) any pair of ",}" or ", }" or ",]" or ", ]" with only the respective closing symbol, "}" or "]". The whole stuff is $(strip)ed to make it a somewhat-minified JSON blurb that fits on a single line with all spaces squashed (but still with spaces, as it is not possible to differentiate spaces between JSON elements from spaces inside JSON strings).
