Will use "RSS hash-key' as key name and array. 

Output in hex bytes like [ be,c3,13,... ] will be better
I fell but it needs below changes. Without below changes
output looks ["be", "c3", "13"...].  Will send out 
v3 (with below changes as additional patch) unless there 
is an objection. 

+++ b/json_print.c
void print_hex(enum output_type type, unsigned int hex)
 {
        if (_IS_JSON_CONTEXT(type)) {
-               SPRINT_BUF(b1);
-               snprintf(b1, sizeof(b1), "%x", hex);
                if (key)
-                       jsonw_string_field(_jw, key, b1);
+                       jsonw_xint_field(_jw, key, hex);
                else
-                       jsonw_string(_jw, b1);
+                       jsonw_xint(_jw, hex);
        } else if (_IS_FP_CONTEXT(type)) {
                fprintf(stdout, fmt, hex);
        }

My bad. This was from my initial implementation before finding json_array op.

non-json output prints "not supported". So used the same here too. 
Will skip the <key,value> pair in v3 as you suggested.
