Feature Request: Have Additional --nodes output in Json format

[Paul-Pressure]

Would be very useful to have additional --nodes output in JSON format so can be used in code.

Agreed, the nicely formatted table looks appealing, but it's not useful for anyone who wants to perform additional data processing. Perhaps we could add a --nodes --json flag to specify that the output should be in JSON format? We might also consider adding more flags for --csv, --xml, etc.

Edit

Super quick and dirty, It works on my system, I have not done extensive testing but I tossed together meshtastic_table_to_json.py, a quick script that will take the output of meshtastic --nodes as stdin and convert it to json.

note: I'm using uv to manage my projects so I tested this with meshtastic --nodes | uv run meshtastic_table_to_json.py
