bluk DITA-to-Json conversion

[jeff_hooker]

Hi folks,
I've got a team who wants to convert an immense volume of DITA content into Json for the purposes of using it for a machine learning project. Is there a way of accessing the DITA-to-Json tool from the command line?
Thanks,
Jeff.

Hi Jeff,

If you have a license for Oxygen Scripting, you can run it from the command line as described here:

Scripting Oxygen > Batch Converter

The usage given is as follows:

Code: Select all

sh scripts/batchConverter.sh -i inputFiles -if inputFormat -o outputDirectory 
-of outputFormat [-ss (true|false)] [-csd (true|false)] [-cs converterSettingsFile]

Hi,
What would be the free option to convert DITA to JSON?

You can also write your own transformation type and publish the content to JSON. After preprocessing you have a merged XML file and it should be quite easy to convert this to JSON with Saxon. If you don't know how to do it, you can ask a DITA consultant.
