Tokei output compatibility

[lu-zero]

See tokei

• tabular output
• json output
• cbor/toml/yaml output

The tabular output would be difficult to read because rust-code-analysis has lots of metrics compared to Tokei. The json output is already implemented.

Having a table per-metric should solve the problem of having way too many columns I guess.

I do not have strong opinions in this regard, but would be nice to have a way to see the data from the cli w/out piping the json to something that formats it though.

Right, but for now the tabular option has low-priority compared to your third item :)

[Luni-4]

The tabular format presents a series of problems.

Let m be the number of files in a directory, n the number of function spaces and k the number of tables. Let also suppose that each struct is represented by a table.

The final number of tables is then equal to: m * n * k
if the values of the three variables are pretty large, we would get an enormous output, difficult to analyze.

Possible approaches could be the following ones:

• Print only global metrics for each file
• Print only determined metrics for each file and function space
• Do not implement the tabular approach for rust-code-analysis
