2020-12-19migration: Replace migration's JSON writer by the general oneMarkus Armbruster
Commit 8118f0950f "migration: Append JSON description of migration stream" needs a JSON writer. The existing qobject_to_json() wasn't a good fit, because it requires building a QObject to convert. Instead, migration got its very own JSON writer, in commit 190c882ce2 "QJSON: Add JSON writer". It tacitly limits numbers to int64_t, and strings contents to characters that don't need escaping, unlike qobject_to_json(). The previous commit factored the JSON writer out of qobject_to_json(). Replace migration's JSON writer by it.

2020-12-19qobject: Factor JSON writer out of qobject_to_json()Markus Armbruster
We have two JSON writers written in C: qobject/qjson.c provides qobject_to_json(), and migration/qjson.c provides a more low level imperative interface. They don't share code. The latter tacitly limits numbers to int64_t, and strings contents to characters that don't need escaping. Factor out qobject_to_json()'s JSON writer as qobject/json-writer.c. Straightforward, except for numbers: since the writer is to be independent of QObject, it can't use qnum_to_string(). Open-code it instead. This is actually an improvement of sorts, because it liberates qnum_to_string() from JSON's needs: its JSON-related FIXMEs move to the JSON writer, where they belong. The next commit will replace migration/qjson.c. Signed-off-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com> Message-Id: <20201211171152.146877-16-armbru@redhat.com>
