Makes it easier to work with when calling from scripts. If you're OK with it I can open a PR, doesn't seem to be that difficult to implement.

Sure, open a PR, though I'm not sure what you'll gain from JSON specifically that you can't get out of the current output at present

It's just easier to parse JSON in other languages than it is to parse some arbitrary text columns. awk is fine for what but if I want to use Python to parse the output JSON is more reliable :)
