So what about leaning on require('fs').stats method and the .stats property

// "" (empty string) as a property key is valid json
var fs = {
  "a" : {
    // maybe not ALL of those properties make sense in a "json file system",
    // so only the meaningful ones should exist
    "/type": "directory",
      // is one of ['file', 'directory', 'blockdevice' , 'characterdevice', 'symlink', 'FIFO', 'socket']
    "/dev": 2114,
