Add a modular parser that will allow to parse 'json' backing definitions
that are supported by qemu. The initial implementation adds support for
the 'file' driver.
Due to the approach qemu took to implement the JSON backing strings it's
possible to specify them in two approaches.
The object approach:
json:{ "file" : { "driver":"file",
"filename":"/path/to/file"
}
}
And a partially flattened approach:
json:{"file.driver":"file"
"file.filename":"/path/to/file"
}
Both of the above are supported by qemu and by the code added in this
commit. The current implementation de-flattens the first level ('file.')
if possible and required. Other handling may be added later but
currently only one level was possible anyways.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
