Hi Loïc,
First of all, thanks for the suggestion! You are not alone in this idea.
In fact, there is already a PR [1] that provides this kind of
functionality. It's been open for a while. The main reason is that it is
currently hard to prove that it doesn't break anything. For that reason,
I started working on some unit tests [2] but haven't yet received much
feedback on it. Also I didn't find much time to continue that work.
Thanks,
Maarten

Hello @dev team !
Being a frequent user of the *maven-dependency-plugin*, I often lack
the
possibility to order the output of the *tree* goal to compare effective
trees when refactoring POM files.
So, following the same idea of comparing trees, it could be also
interesting to be able to output in a computer-friendly language such
as
XML or JSON.
I will be happy to supply PR, if this is something that the Maven
community
is interested in.
Best regards,
Loïc Ledoyen
