well it does return content already, all the stdout and such. I think what you are saying is that have a flag that if the output of the command is already JSON and you requested this behavior, return the JSON datastructure in an element called "json"? I'm somewhat open to it, but also think that

Would it be possible to have an extra option to command to so that it can work similar to the uri module's "return_content" option? That way results that are registered would be the same except for an extra json key with the structured data. Not sure what to call it as "return_content" isn't partic

Re: [ansible-project] Re: shell/command json output into variables

callback plugins exist in ansible for this purpose and there is the '--tree' flag to ad-hoc /usr/bin/ansible mode. However, we're not really trying to be a system that emits arbitrary JSON as many playbooks will include results for multiple systems and this would get very very large and unwieldy.

Right, role iteration just can't happen, because what happens is people will want different values to iterate for different hosts, and the way Ansible is built all task definitions in a play go to all hosts, and then those hosts evaluate conditionals. What you ask would involve auto-converting som
