This is my quick but very clean approach to get git logs as JSON.

Existing solutions all break when special characters are in commit messages or author names, this one does not.

I don't want to re-implement git or use a re-implementation, the standard git commandline is good enough.

it is extensible using plugins, so the transformation can be fine tuned to your projects need.
