Yeah, it's only loosely JSON as I don't use a JSON parser.
Goes kind of against all the buzzwords you're letting fly here...
The schema defines arguments in a dictionary because in QMP, the
argument order doesn't matter. But the argument order matters in C
so I need to use a custom parser to preserve dictionary order.
We could extend our parser to annotate the dictionary with the
original order. Not worth it though.
There's no way to do commenting in JSON and I really wanted to have
inline documentation.
But otherwise, it's valid JSON.
We should then have a transformation that generates a valid json for
clients to use. We could even include the documentation as a 'doc': key.
Yes, as I mentioned on the call, that's my plan for 0.15. I hadn't
thought about the doc bit though.
