[chef] auto generating json data

[Elvin Abordo < >]

Hello Chefs,

OPs guy here. 

I'm trying to write a simple tool to auto generate json roles and environments as manually editing/upping  json files has proven a fruitless venture for some of my team members. 

I've looked at a couple of OS level tools that might do the trick such as jsontools and possibly jq. but i'd like to hear some ideas from the community.

Thanks in advanced.
