harness json diffing powa in the terminal

The point

Diff json objects in the terminal.

What Works

-f read from files and print entire datastructure.
"-o -" print to stdout

TODO:

• read from stdin
• write diff to file
• append diff to file
• put diff on stdout (for use in pipes)
• connect jsdiff to couchdb. The idea would be to follow a document. Any changes are be diffed and written, appended, or piped somewhere.
• maybe settle on a single api for difing. Right now there is jsondiffpatch and difflet
  • difflet is for printing to terminal only. I like how it prints the whole doc and uses coloring to indicate changes. colors are baked into the returned string. I dont like how it returns string only.
  • jsondiffpatch is for providing diff object only. It can be pretty printed or sent staight to stdout.
