CLI Flags

Flags allow you to customize how Code Analyzer outputs results.

–json

Output results in JSON format instead of formatted CLI output.

Usage

codesync analyze ./project --json

Where it works

The --json flag is supported in:

• analyze
• detail-analysis
• complexity
• cycles
• depth-table

Example

Default output

codesync analyze ./project

Shows:

• Formatted summary
• Sections like “Codebase Summary”
• Human-readable output

JSON output

codesync analyze ./project --json

Returns structured data:

{
  "totalFiles": 120,
  "entryPoints": ["index.js"],
  "cycles": 3,
  "deadFiles": 5
}

When to use –json

Use JSON output when:

• Integrating with other tools
• Writing scripts or automation
• Saving results for later analysis

Best practice

• Use default output for quick understanding
• Use --json for programmatic usage

Future flags

More flags may be added to support:

• Filtering results
• Limiting output
• Custom formats
