JSON support for sq keyring list, sq wkd url

The Sequoia command line tool sq has gained support for the sq keyring list and sq wkd url commands.

$ sq --output-format=json keyring list liw.pgp
{
  "sq_output_version": {
    "major": 0,
    "minor": 0,
    "patch": 0
  },
  "keys": [
    {
      "fingerprint": "01329E6448F73322374600FE914E0DE96A7328A8",
      "primary_userid": "Lars",
      "userids": [
        "<liw@liw.fi>"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

$ sq --output-format=json wkd url me@example.com
{
  "sq_output_version": {
    "major": 0,
    "minor": 0,
    "patch": 0
  },
  "advanced_url": "https://openpgpkey.example.com/.well-known/openpgpkey/example.com/hu/s8y7oh5xrdpu9psba3i5ntk64ohouhga?l=me",
  "direct_url": "https://example.com/.well-known/openpgpkey/hu/s8y7oh5xrdpu9psba3i5ntk64ohouhga?l=me"
}

sq allows the format of the output to be chosen with the --output-format option, or the SQ_OUTPUT_FORMAT environment variable. The default is “human readable”.

The machine-readable output formats are versioned. The version can be chosen with the --output-version option or SQ_OUTPUT_VERSION environment variable. The default is the latest version. The output version is independent of the sq version.

We will be adding JSON support to other commands in the future. If you would like JSON support in specific commands, let us know. We’ve chosen JSON as the most common format, but if you’d like us to support another machine-readable format, do tell us.
