Support for json output in cli commands

[pelikhan]

An option to dump data as JSON in the console output would be handhandy for commands like list and such. It avoids having to write parsers around the output of clients when automatingoing it.

Auto completion really messed up the title:

Thanks! I got you. I will add it later via new "settings"'s option.

What do you think, which way is better to tell PlatformIO for json output?

1. Additional option to specific command, like $ platformio list --output=json
2. Global settings $ platformio settings set output_json yes

I'm not sure that I can implement normal json output for each command, but I can try.

Imo, (1) would be bwst. Just --json.

Give me please a list with the commands which should return JSON response.

Thanks.

The JSON produced is invalid. You can use online tools like JsonLint to validate it.

Opss... I see it. I will release new 0.10.2 tomorrow with that hotfix.
