I'm not sure why JSON is not enabled in the official distributions, it works for me. It's historical: Richard said, way back when, that he'd enable it if it got full-featured testing, including fuzzy input tests (to check against external exploits using invalid inputs). i never did that, and my ongoing arm nerve damage (from too much/sustained typing!) is keeping me from meaningfully contributing to any software for the foreseeable future, so i'm not likely to ever get around to it :/. Contributions would be welcomed!
I really should sign and mail that contributor agreement.... perhaps this is as good a reason as any. Then I can probably find some time to attack test cases for JSON, and maybe with you nagging^H^H^H^H^H^Hmentoring me it could become an official feature.
I swiftly realized that while the existing "fossil ticket" commands allowed for easy access to summary reports, there was no good way to get the full body of a ticket and its commentary out in a way that could be used for automating their publication. I needed that, and you added JSON at exactly the moment I was looking for it.
