Hello everybody,
I made some progress with extracting project structure from cmake via the
daemon-mode. I am rather happy with the information and would love to get some
feedback from other interested parties.
Here is the format that is currently reported (with comments;-):

Is this the information you need for IDE integration?
Do you cmake developers feel comfortable to expose this information?
The total of the project data from the cmake project is ~102KiB of raw JSON
data.
What is not listed is the build system file list and the CMakeCache. I want to
keep these two separate: I can think of some use cases where that information is
not at all necessary:-)
Best Regards,
Tobias
