I think I misunderstood your question earlier.
There's no standard format that comes to mind, but perhaps an output format
similar to that of (array of row_to_json()) would be desirable. For
example, `select relname, relnamespace from pg_class;` would emit the
following:
[
{"relname": "pgclass", "relnamespace": 11},
{"relname": "pg_statistic", "relnamespace": 11},
]
