# x2j-cli

[![npm version](https://badge.fury.io/js/x2j-cli.svg)](http://badge.fury.io/js/x2j-cli)
[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/lmammino/x2j-cli.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/lmammino/x2j-cli)

Node.js command line script to convert XML input into JSON output. It can be
piped to a command printing XML to stdout to have it converted and pretty printed
to JSON.

## Example

```bash
curl -sS http://www.w3schools.com/xml/note.xml | x2j
```

Will print:

```json
{
"note": {
"to": [
"Tove"
],
"from": [
"Jani"
],
"heading": [
"Reminder"
],
"body": [
"Don't forget me this weekend!"
]
}
}
```

## Install

It requires Node (4.0.0 or higher) and Npm (2 or higher):

```bash
npm install --global x2j-cli
```

This is going to install globally the executable `x2j` (and its alias `xml2json`)
which you can use to convert xml string from the standard input into formatted
JSON into the standard output as shown in the example above.
