## Build instructions

Make sure you have [Dart](https://dart.dev/get-dart) installed, then run the following:

```bash
dart pub get
dart compile exe bin/kennson.dart
```

The compiled executable will be inside the `bin` folder, named `kennson.exe` (regardless of platform).

-d, --max-depth                     Specify maximum nesting before stopping printing
