>                 Key: WFLY-3339
>                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-3339
>             Project: WildFly
>          Issue Type: Enhancement
>      Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) 
>          Components: CLI
>    Affects Versions: JBoss AS7 7.1.1.Final
>         Environment: RHEL 6.4, x86_64
>            Reporter: Chris Pitman
>            Assignee: Alexey Loubyansky
>              Labels: automation, cli, configuration_management, json
>
> The purpose of the CLI is to improve automation for administrators, but the format used for data is a non-standard format that cannot be easily parsed or generated by any language.
> The format is *really* close to json, but with enough deviation to make munging it a pain: replace hash rockets (=>) with colons, undefined with null, and key value pairs ("(a => b)") with hashes ("{a : b}"). Going in the opposite direction requires some sort of cleverness to determine what is a key-value pair, which is not fun.
> The CLI should support both output and input in a standard format, so that the above hoops do not have to be jumped through.
> Steps to Reproduce:
> 1. Connect to the jboss cli
> 2. Execute "/:whoami"
> Actual results:
> {
>     "outcome" => "success",
>     "result" => {"identity" => {
>         "username" => "$local",
>         "realm" => "ManagementRealm"
>     }},
>     "response-headers" => {"process-state" => "reload-required"}
> }
> Expected results:
> {
>     "outcome": "success",
>     "result": {"identity": {
>         "username": "$local",
>         "realm": "ManagementRealm"
>     }},
>     "response-headers": {"process-state": "reload-required"}
> }
