Comment 16 for bug 1405873

Personally, I'm still seeing an issue related to commas in json output on Bionic.

$ apt show lshw 2>/dev/null | head -n2
Package: lshw
Version: 02.18-0.1ubuntu6.18.04.2

$ sudo lshw -C display -json | jq
{
  "id": "display",
  "class": "display",
  "claimed": true,
  "handle": "PCI:0000:00:0f.0",
  "description": "VGA compatible controller",
  "product": "SVGA II Adapter",
  "vendor": "VMware",
  "physid": "f",
  "businfo": "pci@0000:00:0f.0",
  "version": "00",
  "width": 32,
  "clock": 33000000,
  "configuration": {
    "driver": "vmwgfx",
    "latency": "64"
  },
  "capabilities": {
    "vga_controller": true,
    "bus_master": "bus mastering",
    "cap_list": "PCI capabilities listing",
    "rom": "extension ROM"
  }
}
parse error: Expected value before ',' at line 24, column 4

===

It's basically a spurious comma at the end ouf the output

$ sudo lshw -C display -json
# ...[several spurious newlines] {
    "id" : "display",
    "class" : "display",
    "claimed" : true,
    "handle" : "PCI:0000:00:0f.0",
    "description" : "VGA compatible controller",
    "product" : "SVGA II Adapter",
    "vendor" : "VMware",
    "physid" : "f",
    "businfo" : "pci@0000:00:0f.0",
    "version" : "00",
    "width" : 32,
    "clock" : 33000000,
    "configuration" : {
      "driver" : "vmwgfx",
      "latency" : "64"
    },
    "capabilities" : {
      "vga_controller" : true,
      "bus_master" : "bus mastering",
      "cap_list" : "PCI capabilities listing",
      "rom" : "extension ROM"
    }
  },
