It's very common to see code like: ``` cf service-key "$SERVICE_INSTANCE_NAME" $KEY_NAME | tail -n +2 ``` This removed the header from the output leaving just JSON. Search GitHub and you'll see pages of hits. Rather than forcing script users to chop of the header, risking issues with errors in pipes, etc... It woudld be better just to print the correct output in the first place. This commit: adds a "--json" flag which outputs JSON only. It follows the convention of "--guid" to supress warnings too (unless there an error). In practice the endpoints in question do not produce warnings, so it makes no practical difference.
