Subject: include/json: Add functions for creating json objects and arrays
X-Git-Url: https://git.corax.cc/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=bbd6a465ab6c3dfc96e0c63f0a42808a9f88302d;p=toolbox

include/json: Add functions for creating json objects and arrays

Especially when interacting with REST-ful APIs via curl, it can be handy
to have functions to quickly generate JSON objects without having to
invoke jq. This commit adds functions for generating simple JSON objects
and arrays.
