Interface with mscs

[sandain]

What else do we need from mscs?

My local branch is currently using ls and the new query command.

I think the query command could use a format we can parse with JavaScript like json so it would be easier to use the output. Or maybe make another perl script that will convert the output to json.

[sandain]

Why don't we add an option to the query command, say query json, that returns the same query data in json format. I imagine the conversion code would be fairly minimal. We could define the option raw as the default format that is currently returned.

I have something working I think:

$ mscs query-json alpha
{"motd":"Thisisamultiple\nlineMOTD","gametype":"SMP","gameid":"MINECRAFT","version":"1.9","plugins":"","map":"alpha","numplayers":0,"maxplayers":20,"hostport":"25567","hostip":"127.0.0.1","players":""}

Is that what you were thinking of? Do I need to add whitespace? I could convert players to an array, but I don't have a second account to play with and don't know if it is comma separated or what

Here is the main part of the code:

# Send a detailed status query to the Minecraft query server and return the
# data in JSON format.
#
# @param 1 The world server of interest.
# @return Query values in JSON format.
queryDetailedStatusJSON() {
  local STATUS JSON
  STATUS=$(queryDetailedStatus $1)
  if [ -n "$STATUS" ]; then
    JSON='{
      "motd": "'$(printf "%s" "$STATUS" | cut -f 7)'",
      "gametype": "'$(printf "%s" "$STATUS" | cut -f 9)'",
      "gameid": "'$(printf "%s" "$STATUS" | cut -f 11)'",
      "version": "'$(printf "%s" "$STATUS" | cut -f 13)'",
      "plugins": "'$(printf "%s" "$STATUS" | cut -f 15)'",
      "map": "'$(printf "%s" "$STATUS" | cut -f 17)'",
      "numplayers": '$(printf "%s" "$STATUS" | cut -f 19)',
      "maxplayers": '$(printf "%s" "$STATUS" | cut -f 21)',
      "hostport": "'$(printf "%s" "$STATUS" | cut -f 23)'",
      "hostip": "'$(printf "%s" "$STATUS" | cut -f 25)'",
      "players": "'$(printf "%s" "$STATUS" | cut -f 30)'"
    }'
  else
    JSON="{}"
  fi
  printf "%s" $JSON
}

White space is not needed and is more efficient without it. Arrays or objects would be preferred for multi value elements.
