Organize all of your files under a directory and its subdirectories into a JSON object with a key of each unique file type

Oh – and it's insanely fast

Example JSON Output

{
  "py": [
    "some/path/to/a/file.py",
    "another/path/to/a/file.py"
  ],

  "ts": [
    "oh/look/a/typescript/file.ts",
    "another/one.ts"
  ],

  "cpp": [
    "why/is/a/c/plus/plus/file/here.cpp"
  ]

  "go": [
    "golang/is/nice.go",

}

Potential Use Cases

• You can use the generated scantron.json file in your CI/CD pipeline for custom DAST scans or other vulnerability checks
• Keep an organized, running file of all file types that exist in your codebase
• Complex file management tracking purposes

TODO

• Move CLI logic to separate file
• Add other useful flags / subcommands
• Benchmarking for speed / potential for multithreading
