Print bash data structure to json

[Peng Yu]

Hi,

man bash does not mention json. So I assume bash does not support json natively?

I see some discussion here on how to print associative arrays to json
in bash. But the solution is not very nice.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44792241/constructing-a-json-hash-from-a-bash-associative-array

Is there a clean method to convert arbitrary bash data object (forget
about function at this moment) to json?
