This includes support for [] expressions, single-quotes in QMP expressions (which is not strictly a part of JSON), and the ability to use "True", "False" and "None" literals instead of JSON's equivalent true, false, and null literals. qmp-shell currently allows you to describe values as JSON expressions: key={"key":{"key2":"val"}} But it does not currently support arrays, which are needed for serializing and deserializing transactions: key=[{"type":"drive-backup","data":{...}}] qmp-shell also only currently accepts doubly quoted strings as-per JSON spec, but QMP allows single quotes. Lastly, python allows you to utilize "True" or "False" as boolean literals, but JSON expects "true" or "false". Expand qmp-shell to allow the user to type either, converting to the correct type. As a consequence of the above, the key=val parsing is also improved to give better error messages if a key=val token is not provided. CAVEAT: The parser is still extremely rudimentary and does not expect to find spaces in {} nor [] expressions. This patch does not improve this functionality.
