Allowing output to be json

[A3EKV]

The default output of mendeley get documents is missing a lot of properties returned by the API. Allowing output as json (for instance via an option --json) will be such a nice feature because we can pipe that to jq command and manipulate/filter the output as desired.

--print-format option works at the newest version (v0.1.4). You can see supported formats by --help.

Thank you very much for response. I have tried that but I get the following error when I use for example json or html, I haven't tested the other formats yet:

mendeley get documents --print-format json | tee documents.json

It may be the old version. Could you update Mendeley CLI?
