v.db.select: Add column names and types to JSON #3090
Conversation
The JSON output now has column names and types under info/columns. The example in documentation does not include the unclear note about booleans (perhaps a discussion for another place). A command to reproduce the example output is now included. Documentation and test of the new functionality are included.

List of column names in Python are obtained by: column_names = [item["name"] for item in data["info"]["columns"]]Is this good? Convenient enough? |

Do you plan on including any other information in |
Not now, but in the future, yes. I was thinking about including output of the bounding box flag (-r Print minimal region extent of selected vector features instead of attributes). That would go on the top level next to info and records. Record count would make sense. I would avoid repeating random inputs unless we want to start including provenance. I guess this suggests that info should be skipped. I was also thinking about including |

Okay, thanks. I guess it's not strong either way, but I'll keep it as is. The format is flexible enough and we can change it later too with some temporary duplication cost. |

This has tests, documentation, and the design seems reasonable. I'm merging it. |
