Why is my .json compote automatically deleted or missing after installing the composer?

Question

After $ composer installeverything went well, but was composer.jsonabsent (deleted?).

This means that composer.jsonit will no longer exist after composer install.

It is very strange.

Here is mine composer.json:

{
  "repositories": [
    {
      "type": "composer",
      "url": "http://wpackagist.org"
    },
    {
      "type": "package",
      "package": {
        "name": "wordpress",
        "type": "webroot",
        "version": "4.4.1",
        "dist": {
          "type": "zip",
          "url": "https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/archive/4.4.1.zip"
        },
        "require": {
          "fancyguy/webroot-installer": "1.0.0"
        }
      }
    }
  ],
  "require": {
    "php": ">=5.3.0",
    "wordpress": "4.4.1",
    "fancyguy/webroot-installer": "1.0.0"
  },
  "extra": {
    "webroot-dir": "./",
    "webroot-package": "wordpress"
  }
}

EDIT

I think this can happen when installing Wordpress.

Since wordpress is installed in the root directory ( "webroot-dir": "./"), it seems to clear the entire directory.

Is there any idea?

Composer ZIP- , . Composer , composer.lock (vendor/autoload.php vendor/composer/*.php).
