Suggest: backup result in JSON

[avmaksimov]

Now it’s not full a JSON format. For example:

{
“DeletedFiles”: 0,
“DeletedFolders”: 0,
“ModifiedFiles”: 0,
“ExaminedFiles”: 25,
“OpenedFiles”: 0,
“AddedFiles”: 0,
“SizeOfModifiedFiles”: 0,
“SizeOfAddedFiles”: 0,
“SizeOfExaminedFiles”: 219959,
“SizeOfOpenedFiles”: 0,
“NotProcessedFiles”: 0,
“AddedFolders”: 0,
“TooLargeFiles”: 0,
“FilesWithError”: 0,
“ModifiedFolders”: 0,
“ModifiedSymlinks”: 0,
“AddedSymlinks”: 0,
“DeletedSymlinks”: 0,
“PartialBackup”: “False”,
“Dryrun”: “False”,
“MainOperation”: “Backup”,
“ParsedResult”: “Success”,
“VerboseOutput”: “False”,
“VerboseErrors”: “False”,
“EndTime”: “06.03.2018 13:44:15 (1520333055)”,
“BeginTime”: “06.03.2018 13:44:14 (1520333054)”,
“Duration”: “00:00:00.3062173”,
“Messages”: [
“removing file listed as Temporary: duplicati - b5b34292b06914082b5d0aff4c9c51181.dblock.zip.aes”,
“removing file listed as Temporary: duplicati - i354e25894c934234b98869ba82c49074.dindex.zip.aes”
],
“Warnings”: ,
“Errors”:
}

Export result in standardized format

If one could specify the output format of a result it would be friendlier to those want do more with it in the “run-script-after”, the HTTP report module, and/or the Jabber. I don’t think it would be useful to change the formatting within the send email functionality. It looks straightforward to implement and I would like to contribute such a change back to the repo. As I start I’d add JSON. What do other people think?

@JonMikelV, we had exchanged some PMs a while back about attaching the result JSON as an attachment to the report email. Might it make sense to combine that effort with this request?
