command line tool

[ghost]

this would be useful as a command line tool as well, something like:

__main__.py

    #!/usr/bin/env python

    """
        Cli jsonmerge tool.
    """

    import argparse
    import json

    import jsonmerge

    ARGP = argparse.ArgumentParser(
        description=__doc__,
        formatter_class=argparse.RawTextHelpFormatter,
    )
    ARGP.add_argument('files', nargs='+', help='Json Input Files')
    ARGP.add_argument('--merge-strategy', '-X', help='Root node merge strategy')

    def main(argp=None):
        if argp is None:
            argp = ARGP.parse_args()

        schema = dict()
        if argp.schema:
            with open(argp.schema) as file_handle:
                schema = json.load(file_handle)

        result = {}
        for file in argp.files:
            with open(file) as file_handle:
                result = jsonmerge.merge(result, json.load(file_handle), schema)

        print(json.dumps(result, indent=4))


    if __name__ == '__main__':
        main()

With

• an entrypoint defined in the setup.sh
• the ability to apply a merge strategy to the root node
• ability to load a schema file as well?

That would be great.
