gdalinfo --formats -json #10878

Closed hobu closed 1 month ago

Feature description

gdalinfo --formats -json and ogrinfo --formats -json would be very useful for verification of packaging configuration. Including the answered extensions, capabilities, and descriptions in nodes would also be helpful.

Additional context

Prabably the first step is to have "gdalinfo --format {name} --json" to work, and then applying that to --formats is just making an array. Which brings the question: do we want to JSON'ify (I mean just in gdalinfo --format[s] --json ! and not actually change the original XML format used in drivers themselves) the XML creation/open/etc. option lists ? That should/could probably be made available as a char* GDALDriverGetCapabilitiesAsJSON(GDALDriverH hDr) function to be re-used by applications. Or am I over-engineering stuff?

Umm...
