Hi,
I've written a cli tool to merge JSON files (containing JSON
array) in the current folder as a single JSON file.
My algorithm:
1. Create a string to store the output JSON array as a string,
2. read each file
3. read each object in JSON array from input file
4. append the string representation of each JSON object in a
string
5. Parse the result string as JSON
6. Save string representation of point 6 above.
If the JSON files are already parsed, why you stringify and
reparse it? The assign operator of JSONValue allows it to use it
as associative or plain array (JSON object / JSON array). Each
member of such an array is of the same type: JSONValue. So to
merge an array into another, you can simply iterate over its
members and assign it into to a target array. To initialize as
such just use `jsonResult.array = [];`
A plain array should be also mergeable via `jsonResult.array ~=
j.array` (if `j` really is an array, you need to check the type
first)
