Prints desktop and window information as JSON.

## Install

```

## Usage

Print the current state:

```bash

```

Example output:

```json
{
  "active_window": {
    "id": 73400324,
    "name": "Preview README.md - xdi - Code - OSS",
    "class": "code-oss"
  },
  "workspaces": [
    {
      "id": 0,
      "current": true,
      "windows": [
        {
          "id": 35651587,
          "name": "~/Projects",
          "class": "Alacritty"
        },
        {
          "id": 73400324,
          "name": "Preview README.md - xdi - Code - OSS",
          "class": "code-oss"
        },
        {
          "id": 90177540,
          "name": "Rust CLI Apps - Rust X11 Workspace Tool - Chromium",
          "class": "Chromium-browser"
        },
        {
          "id": 104857698,
          "name": "JsonPretty - JSON Beautifier and Formatter — Mozilla Firefox",
          "class": "firefox"
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      "id": 1,
      "current": false,
      "windows": [
        {
          "id": 106954755,
          "name": "~/P/x/src",
          "class": "Alacritty"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}
```

Follow desktop changes:

```bash
xdi --follow
```

Or:

```bash
xdi -f
```

In follow mode, `xdi` prints a new JSON object whenever the desktop state changes.
