Feature Request: Export JSON button in Connector Builder UI

[awilliamsOM1]

I would like to request an "Export JSON" button feature be added to the Connector Builder UI. This would work the exact same as the existing "Export YAML" button except it would export the connector manifest as JSON.

Exporting manifest JSON from the Connector Builder UI would be very useful for simplifying Terraform based workflows. My ideal workflow would be:

1. Create or modify a custom connector as a development connector in the Connector Builder UI.
2. Test all streams and iterate in the Connector Builder UI until everything is working.
3. Publish the development version of the connector. (This steps could be optional if the export button works on drafts)
4. Export the development version of the connector as JSON.
5. In terraform directly copy the exported JSON into a manifest.json file.
6. In terraform the manifest.json file gets passed into the airbyte_declarative_source_definition terraform resource as the manifest attribute.

At this point sources and connections can be created by referencing the airbyte_declarative_source_definition.id.

This workflow works great because the development and development testing can all happen within the Connector Builder UI. Then the resulting connector can quickly and easily be added to the Terraform IaC system to better control and manage the connectors.

Most of this ideal workflow works well today. The only problem step is number 4 because there is no "Export JSON" button. Instead I need to use the API to get the manifest as JSON. As a result, instead of clicking one button I need to do the following steps:

4a. Leave the UI to enter a terminal
4b. Use the API to get the workspace id
4c. Use the API to get the connector definition id from the list of connector definitions
4d. Use the API to get the connector definition manifest as json

Since JSON is already supported in the API, I hope adding an EXPORT JSON button would be doable in the Connector Builder UI.

Thank you for your help.
