json2xml

Convert structured JSON into XML so it can be inspected with xtract or merged into XML-side pipelines.
Bridge JSON-speaking tooling into the XML-centric parts of an EDirect workflow.
Normalize simple object trees before downstream XML extraction or archiving.

# 1) Convert a JSON document into XML
json2xml < data.json > data.xml

# 2) Convert and inspect the resulting XML immediately
json2xml < data.json | sed -n '1,40p'

Start with a representative JSON sample from the upstream source.
Feed it to json2xml through stdin redirection or a pipe.
Inspect the first emitted XML blocks before converting a full dataset.
Pass the XML to xtract, xml2tbl, or other downstream XML-side tools once the shape looks right.

This wrapper simply calls transmute -j2x, so the companion transmute binary must be on PATH.
--help and --version are not real metadata switches here; in this build they are converted into literal XML tags like <--help>.
Prefer stdin/pipes over positional filenames. In a smoke test, passing a filename argument caused the literal path string to be wrapped as XML content.
The converter emits a <root> / <opt> style wrapper for a simple object, so check that downstream tools expect that structure.
