Windows Script File (WSF) to JSON converter

With this tiny utility you can parse Windows Script File (WSF) into a json file. Scripts reference inline will be included. Further more, it will also attempts to resolve all the "src" referenced files and includes their script in "value" strings.

Assuming a simple wsf with below content:
``xml











`

The generated JSON would be:

the responding output jscript file is like ：
`json
[
{
"id": "job1",
"runtime": [
{
"name": "script",
"helpstring": "Enter the Script to exeucte"
}
],
"script": [
{
"language": "VBScript",
"type": "inline",
"value": "\r\nDim script\r\n'Read and assess the parameter supplied\r\nif WScript.Arguments.named.exists(\"script\") Then\r\nWScript.Echo \"Argument received: \" + WScript.Arguments.named(\"script\")\r\nscript = WScript.Arguments.named(\"script\")\r\nElse\r\nWScript.Arguments.ShowUsage\r\nWScript.Quit\r\nEnd If\r\n"
},
{
"language": "VBScript",
"type": "src",
"src": "scripts\\FS.vbs",
"exists": false
}
]
},
{
"id": "job2",
"runtime": [],
"script": [
{
"language": "VBScript",
"type": "inline",
"value": "\r\nWscript.Echo \"We are in Job2\"\r\n"
}
]
}
]
`

parse a wsf file by path

`js
const {parseWSF} = require('wsf2json');

let wsfPath = __dirname + '/test.wsf';
parseWSF(wsfPath).then((jobs)=>{
console.log(JSON.stringify(jobs, null, 2));
}).catch((error)=>{
console.error(error)
})
`

(Or) if the content is available in string, simply pass it to String parser

`js
const {parseWSFStr} = require('wsf2json');
let xml =











parseWSFStr(xml).then((jobs2)=>{
console.log('parsing wsf content:')
console.log(JSON.stringify(jobs2, null, 2));
}).catch((error)=>{
console.error(error)
})

Convert wsf to formatted vbs file

Instead of generating a json file, if the use case is to convert wsf file to a well formatted vbs file, then please use npm package wsf2vbs. Note current project is a dependency of the said wsf2vbs package.
