Why NDJSON instead of JSON? #9068

Open alexandernst opened 3 weeks ago

alexandernst commented 3 weeks ago

yarn info (and others?) output NDJSON instead of JSON and I can't find a reason why you'd have picked NDJSON instead of JSON.

JSON is already very easily parseable with jq and the size increase in the output is negligible compared to NDJSON. Maybe switch to JSON and make it easier to parse yarn's output?
