Project description

LDIF to JSON Converter

PyPI version Python versions License: MIT CI

A robust Python tool for converting LDAP Data Interchange Format (LDIF) files to JSON with support for hierarchical nesting and Base64 decoding.

Features

  • LDIF Parsing: Convert LDIF files to structured JSON
  • Base64 Handling: Optional decoding of Base64-encoded attributes (-d flag)
  • Hierarchical Nesting: Organize entries by DN structure (-n option)
  • Flexible I/O: Works with files or stdin/stdout
  • Custom Formatting: Control JSON indentation (-i option)

Installation

pip install ldif2json

Usage

Basic conversion:

ldif2json input.ldif -o output.json

With hierarchical nesting:

ldif2json input.ldif --nest -o output.json

With Base64 decoding:

ldif2json input.ldif --decode -o output.json

Using pipes:

ldapsearch -x -b "dc=example,dc=com" | ldif2json --nest children

Options

usage: ldif2json.py [-h] [-o OUTPUT] [-i INDENT] [-n [ATTRIBUTE]] [-d] [input_file]

Convert LDIF to JSON with optional Base64 decoding and nesting

positional arguments:
  input_file            Input LDIF file (default: stdin)

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT
                        Output JSON file (default: stdout)
  -i INDENT, --indent INDENT
                        JSON indentation spaces (0 for compact output) (default: 2)
  -n [ATTRIBUTE], --nest [ATTRIBUTE]
                        Enable hierarchical nesting under specified attribute (default: None)
  -d, --decode          Decode Base64-encoded attributes (marked with ::) (default: False)
