Hi all,
I see some other netfilter tools support json as an output format, apparently this is done elsewhere with libjansson. Would it be obvious or a welcome patch to add support to this similar to the xml output of conntrack -L? Is anyone using an existing tool for this?

I searched this list archives, sorry if I missed previous discussion.

Thanks,
Eldon

These days, I think that most would welcome the ability to obtain well-structured JSON output from their tooling. I would suggest looking into libxo, also.
