Right, depends on the intended use of the API. In many cases, especially for configuration interfaces we no longer write separate CLI tools. But for certain things typing in the JSON gets a bit tedious, and other cases need some sort of summarization if the kernel output is too verbose.

It's a moving target but: net/core/netdev-genl.c net/psp/psp_nl.c
