EMu XML-to-JSON converter

TO DO

1. Tests
2. Dynamically ref & load external schema (e.g. LtC JSON schema)
3. Figure out other more complex fields in EMu/H2I mapping
   • many:1 repeatable nested-table fields
   • other conditional logic

DONE

1. Tie in EMu exports

   • Setup daily/weekly cron to run script;
     • (if Export folder is not empty, get most recent export)
   • Or listen for notification email (sent after export runs)

2. Setup Python env

   • paths to input & output files
   • OR allow input from cli (better for cron?)

3. Installed Python on Boojum

4. Included step for XML-checks.

   • check_xml.py logs errors (with xml-error-line in 'out_path/xml_log_YYYYMMDD.txt') if XML is badly-formed or if other exceptions occur.

5. Figured out notification/email with postfix/mail/mutt (+ appropriate smtp ports for local testing) Considered:

   • #4 in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50695188/what-is-the-proper-way-to-actually-send-mail-from-python-code

6. Tested basic EMu/H2I mapping for 1:1 fields

7. Figure out more complex fields in EMu/H2I mapping

   • conditional logic
   • conditional static values
