Summary of Changes

Hello @yashpss01, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request refines the JSON output generated by the tree-view utility, making it more precise and less ambiguous. The core change involves restructuring the JSON representation of the file system tree to include explicit metadata like path, name, and type for each entry, which enhances programmatic readability and usability. This update also includes a function rename and corresponding documentation changes.

Highlights

Function Renaming: The printTreeAsJson function in src/tree.js has been renamed to treeAsJson for improved clarity and conciseness.
JSON Output Structure Refactor: The output JSON structure generated by the treeAsJson function has been significantly overhauled. Instead of simple nested objects, each file and directory is now represented as an object with explicit path, name, type, and children (for directories) properties, providing a more precise and machine-readable format.
Documentation Update: The README.md file has been updated to reflect the new JSON output structure, providing an accurate example of the current behavior.

Greptile Overview

Greptile Summary

This PR restructures the JSON output format of the Treeview CLI tool to be more explicit and machine-readable. The changes rename printTreeAsJson to treeAsJson and transform the output from a nested object structure (where directory names were object keys) to an array-based format with explicit metadata fields (path, name, type, children). Each node in the tree now contains full path information, a clear type indicator, and a children array for directories. The function signature was simplified by removing the jsonTree accumulator parameter, as the new implementation builds the result locally. The README documentation was updated to reflect the new JSON structure with comprehensive examples.

Important Files Changed

Filename	Score	Overview
src/tree.js	3/5	Refactored `printTreeAsJson` to `treeAsJson` with new array-based JSON structure but contains cross-platform path separator bug and code style inconsistencies
README.md	5/5	Updated JSON output examples to reflect the new structured format with metadata fields

Confidence score: 3/5

This PR requires careful review before merging due to a critical cross-platform compatibility issue and code style inconsistencies
Score lowered due to: (1) line 153 uses forward-slash path splitting which will fail on Windows systems using backslashes, (2) inconsistent spacing throughout the new code (missing spaces after colons, equals signs, and commas), (3) commented-out debug code on line 159 should be removed, and (4) the claimed checklist item about code following project style is not accurate
Pay close attention to src/tree.js lines 117, 121-125, 128-131, 153, and159which need fixes for cross-platform compatibility, code formatting consistency, and cleanup
