qlik app unbuild

Description

Extracts generic objects, dimensions, measures, variables, reload script and connections from an app in an engine into separate json and yaml files. In addition to the resources from the app a config.yml configuration file is generated that binds them all together. Passwords in the connection definitions can not be exported from the app and hence need to be handled manually. Generic Object trees (e.g. Qlik Sense sheets) are exported as a full property tree which means that child objects are found inside the parent´s json (the qChildren array).
