JSON output

[jackd248]

Will there be an option to display the audit results in JSON format?

We could add the option, but you could also get the JSON format audit result (with more details) without the help of this library, e.g. npm audit --json https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v8/commands/npm-audit

Thanks for the hint, so I will filter the necessary information by my own.

OK, but how do we integrate this tool in a CI pipeline ? The added value of better-npm-audit is exception management which we do not get with just npm audit --json

hmm that's true. I guess we could add an output option for JSON

i'm looking into using this package and do some actions with found vulnerabilities, so a JSON output would be good

It doesnt seem like someone is working on this so I'll do it, let me know if there are any objections
