xlson - Converts an OpenSRP data dictionary XLSForm into native form JSON.

git clone git@github.com:OpenSRP/xlson.git

xlson can be installed by running python setup.py install. It requires Python 3.6.0+. Consider using a virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper to make dependency management easier

pip install virtualenv pip install virtualenvwrapper mkvirtualenv xlson_local # or whatever you want to name it (xlson_local)$ python setup.py install # install the required packages required

xlson takes an XLSForm e.g sample.xlsx as input and outputs a native JSON formatted string to stdout. An example:

xlson sample.xlsx > sample.json
{
    "encounter_type": "sample",
    "step1": {
        "title": "Patient Information",
        "fields": [
            {
                "key": "first_name",
                "type": "edit_text",
                "openmrs_entity": "",
                "openmrs_entity_id": "",
                "openmrs_entity_parent": "",
                "edit_type": "name",
                "hint": "What's your first name?"
            }
        ]
    }
}
