Studio is able to return query plans in JSON. Is there any way to get JSON query plan results from the CLI or rest interface? I don't see any option in the CLI help command or the apiary docs.

For the REST interface, you can simply add the "Accept: application/json" header. It doesn't look like the CLI has been updated to reflect that.
