Hear hear! Probably asked before, but being integrated (albeit
with a shim) in SNMP would be lovely.<br>

<p>We are finishing some SNMP support as well but mostly we're
trying to have a YANG-defined API encoded in CBOR. And because
this is quite a new technology, we may create some relevant
tools during the process; if anybody is interested in some
specifics, we may keep you informed about the development.</p>

<p>Any API interface that can acquire the data available with
birdc commands would be very greatly appreciated. Even if the
commands just hand an option to return results were in some
machine readable format like JSON. I currently have a python
daemon that connects to the control socket which is rather
tedious in terms of parsing all the command outputs. :)<br>

<p>No JSON and no XML will get into mainline BIRD, it's a
performance nightmare. I admit that we are taking our time to
introduce the CBOR/YANG API, OTOH we wanna make it good enough to
last for some … decades? without substantial changes.</p>
<p>Thank you for your patience.<br>
