It is a follow-up bug for bug 964636.
In this bug, we would like to output a report with formal json form.

value :  string | number | object | array | true | false | null
object:  { string:value (,string:value)^n }
array :  [ value (,value)^n ]
Assignee: nobody → alchen
Take these two online parser as a reference.
http://json.parser.online.fr/
http://www.jsoneditoronline.org/

(check '\n' and '\t' case)
original json :  "\tBluetooth ON/OFF: ON\n"
string parse  :  "\tBluetooth ON/OFF: ON\n"
JS eval       :  " Bluetooth ON/OFF: ON "
Hi Dave,
in this patch, I modify the output format to regular json.
We can generate a json which can be parsed by normal json parser.

There is one need to be addressed.
When consumers write their description, they should not write '\n' in it.
Instead, they can use '|' to separate two sentences.
(EX: "Bluetooth ON/OFF: ON | Local device address: E4:2D:02:0C:5B:34")
I will upload a test sample for this.
Attachment #8412464 - Flags: review?(dhylands)
In this patch, we add a reporter for BT service. (bluez version)
The reporter will report some BT parameters such as BT state, address, name.
This is the output based attachment 8412464 [details] [diff] [review] and attachment 8412467 [details] [diff] [review].
We can get the following parsed result by normal json parser.

(parsed result)
{

    "subject":"about:service reports",
    "reporters":[
        {
            "Process":"PID 4906",
            "Reporter name":"StatusReporter State",
            "Status Description":[
                "Running: There are 2 reporters"
            ]
        },
        {
            "Process":"PID 4906",
            "Reporter name":"Bluetooth",
            "Status Description":[
                "Bluetooth ON/OFF: ON",
                "Local device address: E4:2D:02:0C:5B:34",
                "Local device name: hamachi",
                "Visibility: invisible",
                "Discovering: false"
            ]
        }
    ]

}
Trigger way:
adb shell "echo 'status reporter' > debug_info_trigger"

the output file:
(status-reports-$pid-$num.json) will exist in /data/local/tmp/status-reports/

Why did you remove the const for aDescription?

I think it would be better to leave aDescription as const and allocate a new string to do the substitution on.

I wouldn't expect a Dump function to be modifying its parameters.

json supports single quotes for strings right?

It would look cleaner here if you used single quotes rather than \" for writing the quotes.

I try it on the following website.
Single quote cannot be recognized as a string.
So I keep the original way for string.

Both websites show the same result.
