I’m working with an API that returns several JSON objects, each object as a new line. Not a list of objects.
Each object has two fields I care about: a package name and the contents of a file.
This script reads each JSON object, parses a .-delimited package name into a
directory/package combination, and then parses the file and saves it to that
file.
