Before merging, we need to extend this to include the full transformations from https://peps.python.org/pep-0566/#json-compatible-metadata |

PEP 819 is up, so I'd like to merge this as a preview feature. |

Fun fact:
This PR adds 88 (118) new instances of the word "preview" to uv. For a grand total of 1525 (1935) instances. (Counts in brackets are when just searching for "preview" rather than for words.)

nit: I think this parsing and serialisation belongs in a ProjectUrl type. But I can see how that would be a bit of churn due to the overarching need for IndexMap.
Add an experimental JSON format for METADATA and WHEEL files in the uv build backend to have a reference what it would look like and to demonstrate that the actual change is just a few lines, how much easier it is than the existing email-ish format.

Add an experimental JSON format for METADATA and WHEEL files in the uv build backend to have a reference what it would look like and to demonstrate that the actual change is just a few lines, how much easier it is than the existing email header format.
The change is overwhelmingly adding the preview feature as it's the first preview item in the build backend, writing the actual JSON is only a couple of lines.
