FEATURE REQUEST: Add Json Output file

[Trubador]

What would you like to be added:

I would like to get Dive to output a Json file containing all the analyzed data from the Docker Image:

• Layers & Layer contents & Layer details
• Image details
• Metadata
• Metrics such as wasted space
• Stats
• Etc.

Why is this needed:

I would like to generate an automatic diagram based on the data from the Json file such that I can easily view the structure of a deployed container image.

Additional context:

So, something like dive <image> --json output_file.json?

[Trubador]

Yes, that would be perfect! 😃
Especially if the Json structure is also documented such that I can easily understand it.

[mark2185]

Try it out, it's already there!

[Trubador]

Oh sorry about that, I can see that.
I just tried it now, though It only output a subset of the data Dive displays in terminal GUI. I need all the data from that in the Json file as well so I have a complete detailed representation of all relations and files inside image layers
