+\r
+Currently there is no easy way to add support for different structured\r
+formatters (like JSON). For example, adding support for S-Expressions\r
+would result in code duplication.\r
+\r
+This patch series amends the situation by introducing structured\r
+formatters, which allow different implementations of structures like\r
+lists, maps, strings and numbers.\r
+\r
+The new code in sprinter.h and sprinter-json.c can be used instead of\r
+the current ad-hoc output in all parts of notmuch, a patch for\r
+notmuch-search.c is included.\r
+\r
+In a later patch, all other parts of notmuch should be adapted to the\r
+structured formatters, and the creation of formatters should be\r
+centralised (to make adding new formatters easier).\r
+\r
+A "structured" formatter is provided for notmuch-search that prints the\r
+current text format. This removes all special-casing from\r
+notmuch-search.c, only structured output is used (and the formatter\r
+discards unnecessary parts or introduces extra formatting).\r
