Machine-readable output

Terminal window
$ qgis-cli info map.qgs --format json
{
  "title": "Berlin Transit Map",
  "crs": { "epsg": 4326, "wkt": "GEOGCS[\"WGS 84\", ...]" },
  "extent": { "minx": 13.082, "miny": 52.338, "maxx": 13.761, "maxy": 52.675 },
  "layers": [
    {
      "name": "buildings",
      "type": "vector",
      "provider": "postgres",
      "crs": "EPSG:25833",
      "feature_count": 48392
    }
  ],
  "layouts": [{ "name": "A4 Portrait", "width_mm": 210, "height_mm": 297 }]
}

This is the quickest way to check layer names before passing them to --layers, --layer, or --extents on the other subcommands.
