Transform JSON

Simple transform JSON object structure

First goal of this node module was to modify the structure of many translation files of angular-translate. Please note that the values of the input files never change, but the structural information.

Install

npm install -g transform-json

Using in node

var transformJson = require('transform-json');

var input = {
  a: 'some string'
};
var transform = {
  'a': 'b' // renames 'a' to 'b'
};
var output = transformJson(input, transform);
console.log('output: ' + JSON.stringify(output)); // output: {"b":"some string"}

Using with CLI and external JSON files

transform-json-cli --input=input.json --transform=template.json --output=output.json
