Make it possible to export config to JSON
Closed, ResolvedPublic
Actions

Description

Now that we have an HTTP API, people are asking for show config operation, but the current format can only be parsed by libvyosconfig, which means it must be installed on the client machines for that command to be any useful. Exporting to JSON will make it easy to obtain the config data and use it in scripts.

It can also come in handy in scripts people run locally. Maybe ability to retrieve a config and convert it to a dict can even be used in migration and commit-time scripts.

With this, will there also be possible to parse the same json into an json import? This to allow for a more programatic way to add things than via set commands

Importing config as JSON would be much appreciated now that the export is working.
