> 
> Currently there is no easy way to add support for different structured
> formatters (like JSON). For example, adding support for S-Expressions
> would result in code duplication.
> 
> This patch series amends the situation by introducing structured
> formatters, which allow different implementations of structures like
> lists, maps, strings and numbers.
> 
> The new code in sprinter.h and sprinter-json.c can be used instead of
> the current ad-hoc output in all parts of notmuch, a patch for
> notmuch-search.c is included.
> 
> In a later patch, all other parts of notmuch should be adapted to the
> structured formatters, and the creation of formatters should be
> centralised (to make adding new formatters easier).
> 
> A "structured" formatter is provided for notmuch-search that prints the
> current text format. This removes almost all the special-casing from
> notmuch-search.c.
> 
> Changes versus v7 of this patch:
> - added {} around "else" blocks (as mentioned in
>   id:20120722160843.GC31834 at mit.edu)
> - added fallback to INTERNAL_ERROR (which should never be called) in
>   notmuch-search.c if format is unknown (as mentioned in
>   id:m2r4s694ly.fsf at guru.guru-group.fi).
> 
> Summary: 
> 
> Peter Feigl (3):
>   Add support for structured output formatters.
>   Add structured output formatter for JSON and plain text (but don't
>     use them yet).
>   Use the structured formatters in notmuch-search.c.
