JSON Merger

A VsCode extension to:

• Merge 2 or more JSON files easily
• Only preserve the keys needed

How to use

Create a config with following keys/values: | key | description | |----------|-----------------------------| |filename |Name of merged file | |sources |JSON files to be merged | |identifier|Uniquely identify each record| |keys |Needed keys from each source |

Note: Few things to make sure before running the extension

• Config syntax is correct(proper JSON syntaxes)
• Source files are in same directory as config

Sample scenario: Merge fileA.json and fileB.json with following requirements:

• Take num, name, img, weaknesses, next_evolution values from fileA.json
• Take type, base from fileB.json

Config

{
    "filename":"test",
    "sources":["fileA.json","fileB.json"],
    "identifier":"id",
    "keys":{
        "fileA":["num", "name", "img","weaknesses","next_evolution"],
        "fileB":["type","base"]
    }
}
