Nobody has said anything about removing JSON support. It's been stated

Yes - my point is that moving to SDL while keeping JSON just means you
now
have two formats you need to support. This will likely have the
effect of
fragmenting things, with any tooling needing to support both.
Not really. "dub describe" takes care of that. And (if it doesn't
already) DUB really should also provide an API to directly query all a
package's info, letting DUB handle all the parsing.
Exactly, the recommended way to work with package descriptions is always
to use "dub describe", or to use DUB as a library, which enables working
with packages on several abstraction levels.
There are a lot of package features that need to be supported and it
doesn't really make much sense to try and reimplement all of that in
every IDE - especially as long as the format isn't 100% stable.
