This adds a new module nxos_command that can be used to send arbitrary
commands to NXOS devices. The module includes an argument that allows
the responses to be evaluated and causes the module not to return
control to the playbook until a set of conditions has been met.
This adds a new module eos_command to network/eos. The eos_command module
is used for sending arbitrary commands to Arista EOS devices. It includes
arguments that allow the module to wait for specific values before the
module returns control to the playbook or fails
This adds a new module for pushing configuraitons to eos devices in a
reliable and repeatable fashion. It includes support for templating
configurations and backing up the current config prior to pushing out
changes. This module works over either CLI or EAPI.

This adds a new module for managing configuraiton files for Cisco NXOS
devices. It provides configuration file management including templating
and backing up the current configuration.

body_format is a new optional argument that enables handling of JSON or
YAML serialization format for the body argument.
When set to either 'json' or 'yaml', the body argument can be a dict or list.
The body will be encoded, and the Content-Type HTTP header will be set,
accordingly to the body_format argument.
Example:
- name: Facette - Create memory graph
uri:
method: POST
url: http://facette/api/v1/library/graphs
status_code: 201
body_format: json
body:
name: "{{ ansible_fqdn }} - Memory usage"
attributes:
Source": "{{ ansible_fqdn }}"
link: "1947a490-8ac6-4bf2-47c1-ff74272f8b32"
consider the following response body (content) of a REST/JSON webservice containing escaped quotation marks:
```json
{ "key": "\"works\"" }
```
decoding this string not as raw will lose the backslash as JSON escape. later json.loads will fail to parse.
Inspired by [this thread](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/ansible-project/kymtiloDme4) on the mailing list and the following python shell code:
```python
import json
string=r'{ "key": "\"works\"" }'
json.loads(string)
json.loads(string.decode('raw_unicode_escape'))
json.loads(string.decode('unicode_escape'))
```
When using the "creates" option with the uri module, set changed
to False if the file already exists. This behavior is consistent with
other modules which use "creates", such as command and shell.
