3. run node generate.js sample.json.template [-o outputfile] [-c collectionSize ]

Template Syntax

1. Anything wrapped in ${ ... } will be evaluated. Works with any javascript syntax
2. To use Faker API, use ${ faker. ...}. See http://marak.github.io/faker.js/index.html for available faker documentation
3. You can specify random number of elements in an array by using the following syntax as the property name: <property name>__$repeat_<min>_<max>. See sample.json.template
4. If -c is specified, it will create a collection of the template objects

To Do
