I use the "--quiet" flag in order to get a json and them extract the fields from it.
In the following put there is an error printed on the bottom which obviously makes the whole output not a valid json. If the intention of the "--quiet" flag was to output a parsable json, then this format breaks it. One way to deal with this would be to make the error message part of the json and not print it on stderr.
I guess I could also parse just stdout and avoid stderr, but also sometimes the errors need to be parsed.
