odsparsator 1.3.0

Generate a json file from an OpenDocument Format .ods file

Generate a json file from an OpenDocument Format .ods file.

When used as a script, odsparsator parses an .ods file and generates a json file using the odfdo library.

When used as a library, odsparsator parses an .ods file and returns a python structure.

The resulting data follows the format of the reverse odsgenerator.py script, see https://github.com/jdum/odsgenerator

installation

$ pip install odsparsator

usage

odsparsator [-h] [--version] [options] input_file output_file

input_file: input file, a .ods file.

sample

$ odsparsator --minimal sample.ods sample_minimal.json

The result:

{
    "body": [
        {
            "name": "first tab",
            "table": [
                ["a", "b", "c"],
                [10, 20, 30]
            ]
        }
    ]
}

Without the –minimal option:

$ odsparsator sample.ods sample_with_styles.json

The result:

{
"body": [
    {
        "name": "first tab",
        "table": [
            {
                "row": [
                    {
                        "value": "a",
                        "style": "bold_center_bg_gray_grid_06pt"
                    },
                    {
