ls-json

ls-json generates a JSON file, listing files in a directory.

##what? ls-json lists the contents of a directory, crams it in a JSON string, throws some metadata in it and writes to stdout.

##why?

• I needed it for some personal projects
• I needed some typing exercise
• I missed Python

##how? just execute ls-json in a directory of your choosing. or, alternatively you can give the path to the directory whose items you want listed. e.g. ls-json /home/yasa/superInterestingStuff/

also, you can use -e flag to exclude dotfiles, and -p flag to pretty-print the resulting JSON.
