DiagnosticReport report in json format about easy.common

[NimaAra]

Okay, cool. Leave it with me and I will add it in the next release hopefully by next Monday week.

[NimaAra]

I am not too keen on returning JSON what I can do for you however, is return a rich object instead of string whose ToString() returns the current prettified report; You can then choose to serialize the object however you see fit.

How does that sound?

[elliottmatt]

I have a function somewhat similar to this and I return a string that is json inside it. See below. (I've censored/removed anything sensitive.) (I also return with the json inside not prettified, i just prettified it below so you can easily see how the sections/data can be nested).

I understand but I do not want the library to concern itself with any serialization logic hence my suggestion for a rich object which you can serialize and get the similar format you have pasted.

[elliottmatt]

Perhaps that would work then? So your rich object would contain the different sections in them and I could enumerate through to format appropriately?

[NimaAra]

It will be something like:

public sealed class Report
{
	public KeyValuePair<string, string>[] System { get; set; }
	public KeyValuePair<string, string>[] Process { get; set; }
	public AssemblyDetail[] Assemblies {get; set;}
	...
}

public sealed class AssemblyDetail
{
	public string Name { get; set; }
	public bool IsGAC { get; set; }
	...	
}

[elliottmatt]

That would be perfect! For the more complex ones, feel free to use string[] or nested Dictionary<string, string> for multiple values coming back.

Awesome! This is exactly what I came to the Issues section to see (I'm /u/fourierswager on reddit). Thanks again for creating this!
