            Bug ID: 1297
           Summary: Replacement for nft export vm json?
           Product: nftables
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86_64
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5
         Component: nft
          Assignee: pablo at netfilter.org
          Reporter: anthonyryan1 at gmail.com

It seems in 1.1.2, support for exporting json was removed.

The commit messages reference better support in libnftables but nft 0.9.0 isn't
taking advantage of that because `nft export vm json` is outputting broken json
with a success code.

I'd like to know what the current recommended approach for getting a
future-proof representation of the current firewall state is? I've got a python
application that needs to be able to read the current firewall state, modify
it, read counters and I can expect some stability in the format even as new
features are added.

I'd also like to throw a big of a suggestion for semantic versioning here,
generally it's not nice to remove functionality in a bugfix release.
