Description

llvm-readelf/obj supports --elf-output-style= with JSON as one of the values which makes parsing readelf output much easier. Having the same for llvm-dwarfdump would also be nice to have.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the existing JSON output implementation in llvm readelf/obj to understand the pattern, then apply a similar approach to llvm dwarfdump, ensuring compatibility with the dwarfdump data model.
