Add a structured "report", probably JSON · Issue #720 · nedbat/coveragepy (original) (raw)

There are lots of use cases that want detailed data from coverage. The only way they have to get it today is from the XML report, which is limited by being a Java-native format.

A new report which included all of the information in a convenient machine-readable form would enable more ater-tools to be built for coverage. @atodorov started work on a JSON report here: https://bitbucket.org/ned/coveragepy/pull-requests/61/add-json-command/diff
