Use npm-logical-tree to get a traversable dependency graph about synp HOT 5 OPEN

Why cannot we just use JSON.parse(), to parse the strings?

How do you mean @redoz94 ?

Ah, I think this is due to bad wording on my part in the issue name - sorry! npm-logical-tree is pretty neat in that it would allow us to get a traversable tree representation of a package.json + package-lock.json combination. We could use that to figure out all the dependencies and make a yarn.lock file (or do the reverse with some adjustments). It's far simpler than what this package does at the moment.

For sure :)
Though to note: if we use npm-logical-tree, we'll probably be able to forgo having a node_modules on disk. In that case, we might even be able to run in the browser (unless I'm missing something).
