Hi! I am very happy to get WLED working this weekend (Athom Addressable Strip controller + 24v RGBW FCOB led strip) 
I have connected it up to my local MQTT server but was slightly surprised to see the current status published as XML at /v.
Are there any plans to add a JSON status topic?
It could be the same as the JSON published to the WebSocket?
Thanks!

JSON (from WLED) can be as large as 30kB. That is usually beyond what MQTT offers.
The maximum payload size for a MQTT packet is 256MB.
30kB should be no problem at all.
Unless there is some kind of limit in the MQTT library that WLED uses?
Just having a JSON version of the existing XML would help.
I have yet to see embedded device providing 256MB payload.
BTW you are welcome to provide PR with update that will do that.
