VERY Off-Topic: Need Help From The FW Geek Collective
« on: December 14, 2010, 09:44:34 PM »
Calling FW computer geeks: does any of you know of a process or application which can convert JSON files to plain text...or anything sensible that isn't JSON? I've looked (believe me, I've looked) albeit not for a month or two and thought I'd throw it open to the Hive Mind before I tried again.

Maybe you can describe what you want to do and how the JSON looks like. Then it should be fairly easy to come up with something.

Is is a Java based file system? I don't know this for sure but can you open them with Webkit browsers? like Safari?
If not you can e-mail the file to me and I'll extract the text (if I can)

There's more to this photography thing than meets the eye.

I'm working on a json system at the moment.  Can you send me an example?  How would you like the output?

I have NOTHING constructive to add to the discussion, but just incredulity that we get three (count 'em) possible solutions to a question I didn't even understand. Hats off to you all!  :)

The guy with the Argonauts? 

But seriously, I'm pretty impressed as well, that everyone seems to know what a JSON file is!

I thought it was something to put a hole in your JSON! ;D
