I think json would then be the best way to go: then people can create
e.g. a python script which gives ansi-color output on the console. And
also a php-script showing it in html would be very easy.
...
Maybe some kind of full-screen interface which constantly updates
showing the current state. Maybe via streaming json (does that even
exist?).
Let’s remember that not everyone wants a
singing-and-dancing-Linux-boot-up-screen with colours and full screen
animations. I run tincd / tincctl on remote systems with access over a serial
console. My terminal is usually set badly because of that, so colour output is
of no use and screws up my screen. It bloats the executable.
The output tincctl produces all the output that is needed, and can be
rearranged by a Perl script to your liking. Or have it dump json if you like,
to make it fully parseable.
UNIX provides a toolbox approach, not an application approach.
+1 for the KISS : Keep It Simple and Stupid
