           Summary: Support use as an engine behind a GUI
           Product: rsync
           Version: 3.0.2
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3

        AssignedTo: wayned@samba.org
        ReportedBy: Dave@Yost.com
         QAContact: rsync-qa@samba.org


It would be nice to be able to ask rsync to output its verbosity and progress
information as xml, so that a GUI could easily parse the info and show it in a
GUI.

As a maintainer of one of that rsync-using-GUIs I would find that also very
nice.

But I don't see an advantage with XML. To complex and not human readable.
Cost
a lot of resources (think about sustainability) to parse.

For me JSON seems to me as a good minimal consent.
