### --use-json-log ###
This switches the log format to JSON for rclone. The fields of JSON
log are `level`, `msg`, `source`, `time`. The JSON logs will be
printed on a single line, but are shown expanded here for clarity.
This switches the log format to JSON. The log messages are then
streamed as individual JSON objects, with fields: `level`, `msg`, `source`,
and `time`. The resulting format is what is sometimes referred to as
[newline-delimited JSON](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON_streaming#Newline-delimited_JSON)
(NDJSON), or JSON Lines (JSONL). This is well suited for processing by
traditional line-oriented tools and shell pipelines, but a complete log
file is not strictly valid JSON and needs a parser that can handle it.
The JSON logs will be printed on a single line, but are shown expanded
here for clarity.
