[gdal-dev] RFC 44: JSON/XML output for ogrinfo/gdalinfo

[Howard Butler]

All,

Dan Little and myself would like to put forward an RFC proposing -xml and -json output support for both ogrinfo and gdalinfo. No changes are proposed to the current text format (which would continue to be the default output format), but having JSON and XML available would greatly ease the integration of gdalinfo and ogrinfo into existing processing workflows without requiring that someone jump into scripting land. Though it might have been overkill to have an RFC, I thought it would be useful to have something to collaborate on if others have ideas about these particular features.

We look forward to your feedback,

Howard
