Build fossil with JSON support, then you get access to a bunch of

not sure why JSON is not enabled in the official distributions, it
works for me.
It's historical: Richard said, way back when, that he'd enable it if it
got full-featured testing, including fuzzy input tests (to check against
external exploits using invalid inputs). i never did that, and my
ongoing arm nerve damage (from too much/sustained typing!) is keeping me
from meaningfully contributing to any software for the foreseeable
future, so i'm not likely to ever get around to it :/. Contributions
would be welcomed!
I really should sign and mail that contributor agreement.... perhaps
this is as good a reason as any. Then I can probably find some time to
attack test cases for JSON, and maybe with you
nagging^H^H^H^H^H^Hmentoring me it could become an official feature.
I swiftly realized that while the existing "fossil ticket" commands
allowed for easy access to summary reports, there was no good way to get
the full body of a ticket and its commentary out in a way that could be
used for automating their publication. I needed that, and you added JSON
at exactly the moment I was looking for it.
