 # in a Firebase Realtime Database, then extract the tree under each key into a
 # separate JSON file, one per top level key.

 # It’s great for making backups because you don’t end up with one ginormous
 # export file which is really hard to manage with other tools.
 #
 # It can also immediately give you a sense of where your space is going per key,
 # which is hard to do any other way. Just look at the size of each JSON file.
