mise settings improvements

[hverlin]

mise settings has been improved in the latest releases and now offers json output. Thank you!

❯ mise settings --json                    
{
  "disable_backends": "[\"java\"]",
  "experimental": true
}

❯ mise settings --toml                    
disable_backends = ["java"]
experimental = true

❯ mise settings                           
Key               Value    Source                    
disable_backends  ["java"] ~/.config/mise/config.toml
experimental      true     ~/.config/mise/config.toml

Would it be possible to make the following changes? (I can create PRs)

• toml and/or json output could include the source of the settings, like it does for the table output (I have a similar request for mise env --json in Additional json output for mise doctor and mise env #3012)

{
  "experimental": { "value": true, "source": "~/.config/mise/config.toml" }
}

• arrays are shown as strings in the json output, but not in the toml output. I believe this might be a bug?

For context, I am trying to display them in https://github.com/hverlin/mise-vscode:

I have also noticed that python.default_packages_file does not show in the default output, even it's different from the default value. I might use the default output from mise going forward, but just curious why isn't it shown?

looks like escape characters are added to the json output that shouldn't be there. I think in json we should return arrays but in toml it should probably return one string for the array delimited by how the settings get read in. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to take the output from this command and use it as input into another config file.

I considered doing that in the initial version but the output is a lot less friendly IMO. I think we should add this behind a --sources flag for json and toml

So the toml output stays as is. However, I can update the json output to:

{
  "disable_backends": ["java"],
  "experimental": true
}

I agree that the toml with sources might not be so useful. What about adding an extra output format: --json-with-sources for both mise settings and mise env?

mise settings ls --json-with-sources
{
  "disable_backends": { "value": ["java"], "source": "~/.config/mise/config.toml" },
  "experimental": { "value": true, "source": "~/.config/mise/config.toml" }
}

I think that's a good idea. Makes it clear it's only for json
