Gulp-merge-json is a powerful gulp plugin designed for anyone who frequently deals with JSON files. It provides a simple yet effective way to deep-merge multiple JSON objects into a single file, which can save a significant amount of time and effort when compiling data for projects. With its versatile options, this plugin caters to various use cases, whether you're creating a single output file for web applications or manipulating JSON data on a larger scale.

This plugin stands out by not only merging JSON files but also allowing users to customize the merge process thoroughly. You can easily transform the output, change how arrays are handled, or even modify specific keys during the merge. It's a smart solution for developers looking to streamline their workflow with JSON data.

• Initial Values Control: Start with a custom object or array using the startObj option for more structured merging, especially when defaults are needed.

• Overwrite Functionality: Utilize endObj to overwrite values in the final output after merging files, ensuring that specific values can be prioritized.

• Module Export Option: Choose to export the final merged JSON as a module with exportModule, making it easier to integrate into Node.js applications.
