support of json format

[anujuber]

Can we have json and yaml output format support.

JSON shouldn't be too much work, so probably yes. YAML is a bit of a mess and would require some external library like PyYAML, so it would be interesting to know what's the actual benefit over JSON.

Concerning the actual structure: Are there any existing tools or applications you would like to use the output with? If yes, it might be sensible to support an existing format (similar to cloc-xml, which didn't reinvent the wheel either).

There was a adhoc requirement to count the source code lines of multiple repositories. Json format is more easy to parse than summary type output by automation. that's the only intent to have Json format support.

Removed YAML from subject as there does not seem to be a compelling reason to support it.

Just merged this into the master branch. Should make it to PyPI sometime next week.

You can already read the documentation at https://pygount.readthedocs.io/en/latest/json.html.

Pygount 1.3.0 with JSON support is now available from PyPI.
