bmfont2json

Parses BMFont files (XML/TXT) to JSON objects, with a command-line tool for easy conversion.

example

``js
var fs = require('fs');
var bmfont2json = require('bmfont2json');

//grab the Buffer or a string of our data
var data = fs.readFileSync(__dirname + '/myfile.fnt');

//the bitmap font data as an object
var obj = bmfont2json(data);

//we can stringify it if we want...
var json = JSON.stingify( obj );
`

The function parses a string (or Node Buffer) that is either XML data (with a root element), or TXT data (following Bitmap Font spec).

The output looks something like the following JSON. It tries to stay true to the BMFont spec.

`js
{
pages: [
"sheet_0.png",
"sheet_1.png"
],
chars: [
{ chnl, height, id, page, width, x, y, xoffset, yoffset, xadvance },
...
],
info: { ... },
common: { ... },
kernings: [
{ first, second, amount }
]
}
`
