Description Ryan Lane 2014-05-02 22:09:38 UTC 
It would be nice to be able to get a json blob back for the keys so that we can programmatically introspect them.
Comment 1 Peter Bena 2014-06-13 08:35:29 UTC 
Example dump: http://bots.wmflabs.org/~wm-bot/dump/%23mediawiki_dump.js

I myself found JSON as a horrible format, it's almost unreadable for humans, and if there should be any format designed for machines, it is binary format which is far superior to JSON.

On other hand, wm-bot itself is using XML to store its data, so I can't see how this dump is useful for you as modifications can't be easily applied to bot directly... but have fun :P
