• noGui - to indicate processing without GUI (Example: --noGui)
• sourceFolder - path to folder where source files placed (Example: --sourceFolder=C:\Temp\Input)
• destinationFolder - path to folder where converted files will be placed (Example: --destinationFolder=C:\Temp\Output)
• overwrite - to force overwrite converted files. Default: application will ask confirmation. (Example: --overwrite)

Examples:

1. Convert list of JSON-files:

   java -jar xml2json-1.3.0-all.jar --noGui --sourceFolder=C:\Temp\Input \
   --destinationFolder=C:\Temp\Output --pattern=*.json
   

2. Convert list of XML-files:

   java -jar xml2json-1.3.0-all.jar --noGui --sourceFolder=C:\Temp\Input \
   --destinationFolder=C:\Temp\Output --pattern=*.xml
   

3. Convert only one file :

   java -jar xml2json-1.3.0-all.jar --noGui --sourceFolder=C:\Temp\Input \
   --destinationFolder=C:\Temp\Output --pattern=someFile.xml

java -jar xml2json-1.3.0-all.jar

Note: When you are starting tool in command line mode it will use all free memory which you have in your system, but if you need limit memory usage then you will need to add -Xmx=512M to your start command right after 'java':

java -Xmx=512M -jar xml2json-1.3.0-all.jar --noGui --sourceFolder=C:\Temp\Input \
--destinationFolder=C:\Temp\Output --pattern=someFile.xml
