Support print ast nodes as json #168

In my case, I need the ast nodes to save as JSON files. I think this PR can help someone who needs JSON also.

Thanks for the PR, but I don't want to integrate that into the tool.

If you need the AST as JSON, I'd recommend that you use clang directly. It has learned the ability to dump the AST as JSON using -ast-dump=json:

clang -Xclang -ast-dump=json -fsyntax-only <file>
