I don't know much about JSON but the basic idea seems good.

This is just for error messages, right, not for (say `-ddump-simpl`)?

All compiler output will be formatted as structured JSON. The consumer can filter out logging messages from -ddump-simpl output from warnings as they desire. This information is tracked in the `Severity` argument.

Perhaps `-ddump-X` isn't the right connotation. Maybe `-djson-errors`?

That much is up for discussion. It is named this way as it hooks into the same machinery which controls `-ddump-to-file` and related flags. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13190#comment:2> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

This actually caught a bug in my implementation as well. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13190#comment:4> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

This allows tooling to more easily parse GHC's output to display to users. The flag is currently experimental and will hopefully be refined for the next release. In particular I have avoided any changes which involve significant refactoring and provided what is easy given the current infrastructure.
