This reads your standard TinyMUSH 3.X ASCII flat file and turns it into a JSON file. The JSON file returns everything, including related DbRefs, flags, attributes, flags and owners of attributes, and more.
This was written for some personal research I'm doing, so it has a few hardcoded options in it, and it doesn't deal with every single edge case that might be designated in your game's configuration. Additionally, it looks for the ASCII file to be named "flatfile.txt" and it outputs "tinymush.json".
It's pretty fast though, and I could likely make it faster if I cached some of the parsers, but it processes a bit over 4000 objects in about 28 seconds on my machine, so I can live with that.
I'm throwing this out there as proof of concept, and as a jumping off point for others who might be able to use it. Feel free to send me pull requests.
I split out an assembly since it's going to be used in another project. It's still a basic library with a simple executable to read the database and spit out a JSON file with some reporting information.

]Your results should be much longer than this. This is just one room of the MUSH I'm testing.
