Issue #4561 has been updated by R.I. Pienaar.
With JSON becoming more and more prevalent is it worth considering specifically
not supporting symbols as they cause problems with JSON?
<pre>
>> {"foo" => "bar", :foo => "baz", "foo" => "meh"}.to_json
=> "{"foo":"baz","foo":"meh"}"
</pre>

Feature #4561: Structured data should be supported
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4561
Author: Luke Kanies
Status: In Topic Branch Pending Merge
Priority: High
Assignee: Adrien Thebo
Category: library
Target version: 2.0.0
Keywords:
Branch:
https://github.com/adrienthebo/facter/tree/ticket/master/4561-add_structured_data
Affected Facter version:
Facter currently only supports a flat result list, and it should instead
support structured data - basically, a hash of hashes and arrays.
This should probably be able to be represented in two ways - either a hash of
hashes/arrays, or namespaces. That is, this:
<pre>
{:top => {:middle => {:bottom => "value"}}}
</pre>
Could also be represented as:
<pre>
top::middle::bottom = value
</pre>
We could optionally have a converter that s/::/_/g for backward compatibility,
which should be both trivial and unnecessary, but there should definitely be
some kind of backward compatibility mode for callers who can't deal with
structured data.
