For a first pass it might be best to just follow what is in cmIDEFlagTable as
this would largely be unintrusive and just get the architecture there.
That would look like
{
"library":[
{
"name":"ErrorReporting",
"command":"ERRORREPORT:PROMPT",
"comment":"PromptImmediately",
"value":"PromptImmediately"
},
{
"name":"ErrorReporting",
"command":"ERRORREPORT:QUEUE",
"comment":"Queue For Next Login",
"value":"QueueForNextLogin"
}
..
]
}
Where flags would be optional.
Another option would actually group the values together.
{
"library":{
"ErrorReporting":{
"values":[
{
"command":"ERRORREPORT:PROMPT",
"comment":"PromptImmediately",
"value":"PromptImmediately"
},
{
"command":"ERRORREPORT:QUEUE",
"comment":"Queue For Next Login",
"value":"QueueForNextLogin"
}
]
}
}
}
Again flags would be optional.
If there are not multiple values then it would look something like this.
{
"library":{
"AdditionalLibraryDirectories":{
"command":"LIBPATH:",
"comment":"Additional Library Directories",
"value":"",
"flags":[
"UserValue",
"SemicolonAppendable"
]
}
}
}
You could also do instead of flags a type. So "type": "StringList" which would
then map the flags properly.
I'm up for whatever you think would be best. The first is certainly the most
verbose but has a direct mapping. The rest end up requiring more of a
transformation to get it into the current format.

Please propose a sample format. Just take a few entries from one of the
existing flag tables and manually convert it to some kind of JSON array of
objects to post here for discussion.
Thanks,
