Description
When the
--json flag is passed to appcd config, the response should always be a JSON object that contains a status code along with either a result value or an error message.
I'm not sure this is a good idea. While it is JavaScript/Node friendly, it's not very Unix-y.
[~cbarber] Would the standard output i.e. non\-
\-\-jsonnot be good enough for people wanting to pipe stuff between commands? I'm guessing the main consumers of the config command with--jsonwould be internal tooling? (I would expect Studio to use websockets as opposed to spawning processes). I think a json response with a response value and appropriate (and documented) error code would be usefulhttps://github.com/appcelerator/appc-daemon/pull/148
