+### parse-json.py
+###
+### A utility to parse a cassnadra-commands file and return the commands per type
+### An Example for a json file:
+###     {
+###         "create":{
+###                 "choice_or_other":"CREATE TYPE IF NOT EXISTS choice_or_other (results text)",
+###                 "vendor_license_model": "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS vendor_license_model (vlm_id text PRIMARY KEY, name text, description text, icon text)",
+###                 "license_agreement": "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS license_agreement (vlm_id text, la_id text, name text, description text, type text, contract text, req_const text, fg_ids set<text>, PRIMARY KEY (vlm_id, la_id))",
+###                 "feature_group": "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS feature_group (vlm_id text, fg_id text, name text, description text, ep_ids set<text>, lkg_ids set<text>, refd_by_las set<text>, PRIMARY KEY (vlm_id, fg_id))",
+###                 "license_key_group": "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS license_key_group (vlm_id text,lkg_id text,name text,description text, type text, operational_scope text, ref_fgs set<text>,PRIMARY KEY (vlm_id, lkg_id))",
+###         }
+###     }
+###
+### The return for "create" will be:
+###                 CREATE TYPE IF NOT EXISTS choice_or_other (results text)
+###                 CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS vendor_license_model (vlm_id text PRIMARY KEY, name text, description text, icon text)
+###                 CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS license_agreement (vlm_id text, la_id text, name text, description text, type text, contract text, req_const text, fg_ids set<text>, PRIMARY KEY (vlm_id, la_id))
+###                 CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS feature_group (vlm_id text, fg_id text, name text, description text, ep_ids set<text>, lkg_ids set<text>, refd_by_las set<text>, PRIMARY KEY (vlm_id, fg_id))
+###                 CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS license_key_group (vlm_id text,lkg_id text,name text,description text, type text, operational_scope text, ref_fgs set<text>,PRIMARY KEY (vlm_id, lkg_id))
