# Steam Wishlist JSON to Markdown Blazor



This project is an application that converts Steam wishlist data from JSON format to Markdown. It uses the Blazor framework and the Windows Forms WebView package for the user interface. The final Markdown file includes general information about the wishlist, such as the number of games, average price, and total price, as well as a list of each game in the wishlist with details like title, price, GameID, and URL.



## Introduction



Have you ever wanted to share your Steam wishlist with someone who doesn't have a Steam account, doesn't want to use the Steam website or because of anything else? Then this project is for you! It converts the JSON file of your Steam wishlist, obtained using Augmented Steam, to a well-structured Markdown file that you can easily edit and/or share with others. The Markdown file includes general information about the wishlist, such as the number of games, average price, and total price, as well as a list of each game in the wishlist with details like title, price, discount (if available), GameID, and URL.



## Features



- Converts Steam wishlist data from JSON to Markdown.

- Provides general information about the wishlist, such as the number of games, average price, and total price (not counting free or not released games and hardware).

- Lists each game in the wishlist with details like title, price, GameID, and URL.

- Formats prices to all countries and their currencies automatically.

- Generates a well-structured Markdown file ready for sharing or further editing.

5. Start the application (`SteamWishlistToMarkdownConverter.exe`).
