Props2Js is a command line utility that converts Java properties files into one of three different formats:
- JSON
- JSONP
- JavaScript
The goal is to allow you to easily store configuration data that is needed for JavaScript in a simple format and then transform it into a format you need in your application.
To convert a properties file into JSON, use the following
java -jar props2js-x.y.z.jar source.properties -t json -o output.json
This reads in the properties file source.properties
and outputs the JSON
equivalent into output.json
.
To convert a properties file into JSON, use the following
java -jar props2js-x.y.z.jar source.properties -t jsonp --name myfunc -o output.jsonp
This reads in the properties file source.properties
and outputs the JSONP
equivalent into output.jsonp
. This is the same as outputting as JSON except
myfunc()
is wrapped around the data.
To convert a properties file into JavaScript, use the following
java -jar props2js-x.y.z.jar source.properties -t js --name myvar -o output.js
This reads in the properties file source.properties
and outputs the JavaScript
equivalent into output.js
. This is the same as outputting as JSON except
var myvar=
precedes the JSON and a semicolon follows it.
