Intelligently merge `package.json` files.
This is pretty much built for yeoman. It attempts to combine two separate `package.json` files into one, respecting as much existing content as possible including already existing dependencies and `package.json` formatting.

```

var src = fs.readFileSync("package.b.json");

// Create a new `package.json`
console.log(merge(dst, src));
```

var merge = require("merge-package-json");
var dst = require("package.a.json");
var src = require("package.b.json");

// Create a new `package.json`
console.log(merge(dst, src));
```

```javascript
var merge = require("merge-package-json");
var src = require("package.b.json");
var dst = require("package.a.json");

```

It allows you to do things like define scripts or dependencies that you would like to include as part of a larger project.

Merging:

```json
{
 "name": "my-package",
 "dependencies": {
  "babel": "^5.2.2",
  "lodash": "^3.2.5"
 }
}
```

```json
{
 "dependencies": {
  "babel": "^5.4.1",
  "eslint": "^0.22.1"
 }
}
```

OR

```json
{
 "dependencies": {
  "text-to-mp3": "^1.0.0"
 }
}
```

results in:

```json
{
 "name": "my-package",
 "dependencies": {
  "babel": "^5.4.1",
  "lodash": "^3.2.5",
  "eslint": "^0.22.1",
  "text-to-mp3": "^1.0.0"
 }
}
```

## TODO

- Add MODE of merge like :
- Get Lates
- Get Oldest
- Get Surest ( the less divergent from common used) [ need design ]
