Use JSON to store the manifest

[gatl]

This allows for other projects to read the manifest and closes the security hole that is the eval() being called on a data file. JSON is not YAML, but it also does not need to look bad.

import json
import gogrepo
manifest = gogrepo.load_manifest()
print(json.dumps(manifest[3], indent=1, sort_keys=True)

You could perhaps replace all the manifest serialization and deserialization code with less than 10 lines of code.

I second this. i was about to write a script to integrate this with dropbox and parse files and file sizes to estimate space etc. JSON format or another format that we can use a standard lib to process would be a great help

I have some bugs to fix and some other projects to deal with, but I want to do a manifest reorganization as the next major update for this so I'll see about emitting different file structures and seeing what works best when I do that.
