📝 json2tex - Convert JSON to LaTeX

This Python script can read multiple JSON files, merge them and outputs LaTeX-\newcommand-definitions to access all elements.

Installation

# from PyPI
pip install json2tex
# or directly from GitLab
pip install git+https://gitlab.com/nobodyinperson/json2tex

Usage

With a JSON file values.json like this:

[
  {
    "_id": "5f1570db9d5aa0b6df3823f8",
    "index": 0,
    "guid": "0fdfb3c5-1f0a-4c2a-8fed-75861742b588",
    "isActive": true,
    "balance": "$1,652.14",
    "picture": "http://placehold.it/32x32",
    "age": 22,
    "eyeColor": "blue",
    "name": {
      "first": "Harrington",
      "last": "Emerson"
    },
    "company": "ISOSURE"
  }
]

(generated with JSONGenerator btw.)

You can then convert that JSON to TeX-definitions like this:

json2tex -i values.json -o values.tex

... which generates the following values.tex file:

\newcommand{\FirstId}{5f1570db9d5aa0b6df3823f8}
\newcommand{\FirstIndex}{0}
\newcommand{\FirstGuid}{0fdfb3c5-1f0a-4c2a-8fed-75861742b588}
\newcommand{\FirstIsactive}{True}
\newcommand{\FirstBalance}{\$1,652.14}
\newcommand{\FirstPicture}{http://placehold.it/32x32}
\newcommand{\FirstAge}{22}
\newcommand{\FirstEyecolor}{blue}
\newcommand{\FirstNameFirst}{Harrington}
\newcommand{\FirstNameLast}{Emerson}
\newcommand{\FirstCompany}{ISOSURE}
