45 I've had other problems attempting to use the JSON interface recently.
\r
46 For starters, if I'm simply trying to retrieve a single message, the
\r
47 interface is rather awkard. I seem to need to do something like:
\r
49 my $json = `notmuch show --format=json id:$message_id`;
\r
50 my $parsed_json = decode_json($json);
\r
51 my $message = $parsed_json->[0][0][0];
\r
53 And, when I'm doing my search earlier to even find those message ids, I
\r
54 need to do a check to `notmuch count` first to see if I'll even get any
\r
55 results, because the 0 result case is not valid JSON.
\r
57 Of course, any feedback, like "you're doing it wrong" would be helpful.
