How it works
Readable structure to clean JSON
The converter maps the BTX XML — file name, format version, tool chest title, tools, types, resources, bounding boxes and scales — into a well-formed JSON document.
Deterministic and stable
The same file always converts to the same JSON, so you can diff converted outputs between versions and build automation on top of them.
Copy or download
Copy the JSON straight to your clipboard or download it as a .json file for scripted workflows.
