How to get JSON output?

[Ajayrajpurohit]

The transcript right now only sends out a long string. But on the same model I have tested manually with the --json flag and it gave time-slots word by word. Is it possible to do it in this REST API??

I'm not sure right now what --json flags triggers in deepspeech cli client but I would start by replacing invocation of stt method with sttWithMetadata here

deepspeech-rest-api/stt/engine.py

Line 27 in fc1842a

result = self.model.stt(audio_buffer=audio)

. This may also require casting resulting Metadata objects to json.
More details here: https://deepspeech.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Python-API.html#native_client.python.Model.sttWithMetadata

Thanks, Dude (@zelo)!!

I have created a pull request after implementing some functional changes (Pull 4). Please do a review and if you can help me get the JSON Object as a response it'll be great. Have a Nice Day!
