Current implementation force clients to parse a JSON formatted blob to get the AppImage data. In certain scenarios only a limited set of this data is required or including a JSON parser will imply unrequired software bloat.

Therefore a more C friendly API should be provided.

Ideally, the data model is redesigned in e.g., C structs, and there is functionality to serialize such data to JSON. That makes more sense than maintaining two formats, or parsing JSON again after already having serialized the data.
