+// This example shows the generation of a multilevel object and JSON document using various faker.js features

+// including name, address, company, date and commerce namespaces, moustache expressions and random element production

+// Using the helper function arr, randomly sized collections of elements are produced in the document.

+

+var faker = require('../../index');

+var fs = require('fs');

+// produce array with random number of empty elements 

+const arr = (maxNumberOfElements) => new Array(faker.random.number({min: 1, max: maxNumberOfElements})).fill()

+const locales = ["nl","es","de","fr","en_AU"]
