The **read‑file‑tree** package provides a simple Node.js utility that walks a directory recursively and returns an object representing the file tree, where each key is a file or sub‑directory name and each value is the file’s contents (or a nested tree for sub‑directories). It offers both asynchronous (`readFileTree(dir, opts, cb)`) and synchronous (`readFileTree.sync(dir, opts)`) APIs and is useful for developers who need to load an entire directory structure into memory, such as build tools, static site generators, or test fixtures.
