    Description

      Hi all, I'm working on some automated analysis of the clusterdump output using '-of = JSON'. While digging into the structure of the representation of the data I've noticed something that seems a little odd to me.

      In order to access the data for a particular cluster, the 'cluster', 'n', 'c' & 'r' values are all in one continuous string. For example:

      {"cluster":"VL-10515{n=5924 c=[action:0.023, adherence:0.223, administration:0.011 r=[action:0.446, adherence:1.501, administration:0.306]}"}
      

      This is also the case for the "point":

      {"point":"013FFD34580BA31AECE5D75DE65478B3D691D138 = [body:6.904, harm:10.101]","vector_name":"013FFD34580BA31AECE5D75DE65478B3D691D138","weight":"1.0"}
      

      This leads me to believe that the only way I can get to the individual data in these items is by string parsing. For JSON deserialization I would have expected to see something along the lines of:

      {
          "cluster":"VL-10515",
          "n":5924,
          "c":
          [
              {"action":0.023},
              {"adherence":0.223},
              {"administration":0.011}
          ],
          "r":
          [
              {"action":0.446},
              {"adherence":1.501},
              {"administration":0.306}
          ]
      }
      

      and:

      {
          "point": {
              "body": 6.904,
              "harm": 10.101
          },
          "vector_name": "013FFD34580BA31AECE5D75DE65478B3D691D138",
          "weight": 1.0
      }

      Looks like a bug to me as well; I would have expected something similar to
      what you were expecting except maybe something like this which puts the "c"
      and "r" values in objects rather than arrays of single-element objects:

      {
          "cluster":"VL-10515",
          "n":5924,
          "c":
          {
              "action":0.023,
              "adherence":0.223,
              "administration":0.011
          },
          "r":
          {
             "action":0.446,
             "adherence":1.501,
             "administration":0.306
          }
      }
