playlist2json

This is a simple script (which I intend to turn into it's own module at some point) that takes any exported XML iTunes playlist in the XML format and turns it into readable, usable JSON.

I intend to build something much larger based on this package, but for now, this is it. Stay tuned, folks.

Usage

To get set up with playlist2json, all you need to do is install it through NPM (npm install playlist2json) and then start using it in your projects like so:

const playlist2json = require("playlist2json");
const playlistImport = ... // This is where your exported iTunes playlist data goes. However you retrieve it and store it is up to you.

console.log(playlist2json.convert(playlistImport)) // Just run the playlist2json.convert function and include the XML data you wish to convert, and it'll return the converted playlist in JSON format.

If you wanna play around more with it, you can download the GitHub repo and run npm install in its base directory. There is also a makeshift CLI of sorts which you can access by running npm start in the base directory of playlist2json.

Example

In the example folder you can find a JSON tracklist of Run The Jewels 3 converted straight from an XML iTunes exported playlist of the album. The file runthejewels-rtj3-prettyprint.json was pretty printed with JSON Formatter, please take note that this package will not pretty print any outputted JSON.
