Hi,

+1 for Olle's suggestion. On to the format...

Why? You'll get text so you'll need to JSON-decode it anyway, so what's 
wrong about \n\n ?

If we go that route someone may want XML as well so then we should have 
a way to tell AMI to give you the result of a given query in text, JSON 
or XML format. Or maybe set the format for a given AMI 
session/connection. Doesn't sound like a bad idea, but there are "a few" 
AMI commands out there ;-)
