| = Monitor Protocol = | | = PAGE MOVED!! = |
|
| |
|
| This is the page of the Monitor Protocol project, which aims to implement a [http://www.json.org JSON] based protocol for QEMU's Monitor. | | This page has moved to: http://wiki.qemu.org/QMP |
| | |
| == Problem ==
| |
| | |
| QEMU does not provide a way for applications to control it at the "machine level", that is, the current existing interface (called Monitor) was designed for human interaction only.
| |
| | |
| This is very problematic for applications, for the following reasons:
| |
| | |
| * It is needed to parse output meant to be read by humans
| |
| * It is not reliable, because it is not always possible to know whether a command has been successfully executed or not
| |
| * It lacks support for asynchronous events
| |
| | |
| == Solution ==
| |
| | |
| Improve QEMU's Monitor to support a [http://www.json.org JSON] based protocol.
