What would you like to be added:

I would like to get Dive to output a Json file containing all the analyzed data from the Docker Image:

  • Layers & Layer contents & Layer details
  • Image details
  • Metadata
  • Metrics such as wasted space
  • Stats
  • Etc.

Why is this needed:

I would like to generate an automatic diagram based on the data from the Json file such that I can easily view the structure of a deployed container image.

Additional context:

So, something like dive <image> --json output_file.json?

Trubador commented

Yes, that would be perfect! 😃
Especially if the Json structure is also documented such that I can easily understand it.

mark2185 commented

Try it out, it's already there!

Trubador commented

Oh sorry about that, I can see that.
I just tried it now, though It only output a subset of the data Dive displays in terminal GUI. I need all the data from that in the Json file as well so I have a complete detailed representation of all relations and files inside image layers
