$ go version
go version go1.12 linux/amd64
$ go list -json ./...
go: finding github.com/…
…
	fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/…': Could not resolve host: github.com

→ No useful output. I don’t care if some json fields would be better populated with network access, just because you ask json output does not mean you will use every single json field.

Ironically, go mod edit does not have this module-induced problem

$ go mod edit -fmt -json go.mod

→ just works.

Lastly:

$ GO111MODULE=off go list -json ./...

→ works but GO111MODULE is going away and in off mode go list does not list the go.mod files that could be fed to go mod edit -fmt -json for parsing

go list -json needs a pure passive mode that does not change files on disk or attempts to download other things, similar to go mode edit -json -fmt

-fmt is the wrong name for the flag, since it's not actually formatting anything.

Beyond that, I think this is a dup of #29452.

-fmt is the wrong name for go mod edit too, it's not really a formatting option, it's a “passive static read only mode no update no internet access no clever anything, just read existing available files as they are without changing them or completing them or whatever and report”
