RTFM.  Look in the gpsd source at www/gpsd_json.html.  Or, "Use The
Source, Luke" and study gpsd_json.c and lingps_json.c

Sure.  THey are just JSON.

Right.  gpsd generates the TPV.  Look in libgps for the client that
takes the input.  BTW, gpsd can pass along the JSON to a client, it
just does not bother to parse it.

Can't imagine why you would want to.

Lo'ts of 'em.  Why bother?

Yup.

Yup.  But after gpsd parses it, the output is again simple JSON.
