Exporting nodes as JSON/Folders/Files

["David G." <da...@gmail.com>]

Are there any tools in Sling that facilities the export of JCR Node trees in JSON representations? (Similar to how the CRX Content Zipper does for XML, etc.) 

I'm looking to backport "initial content" out of the JCR into Maven projects.

Thanks

JCR has a built in export function [1] to produce xml and will include the
content, but it will be one big ugly xml file. 

 A bit restricting but you could utilize webdav to get a file system like
view of your content and zip that.  

Otherwise I think you'll just have to implement what you're specifically
looking for.  I've never used it before but the jackrabbit sandbox has an
import/export tool [2] that might save you time implementing.

Hi James,

Sorry for not being more specific -- This will only provide the JSON (which
is great) - however I need any required folder/files as well.

Imagine i have a site under /content/myapp  and under each
/content/myapp/page-N node there are a number of image components that have
actual images attached to them as nt:file's. I would need not only the
JSON-tree, but also an export of actual filesys folders and files Ex.
c:/export/content/myapp/page-1/_jcr_content/myimage/file

Also, JSON.infinity is nice, however it would be more convenience and
maintainable if each node was broken into its own JSON file -- If I have a a
sub-tree that is 10 levels deep and a breadth of 100 nodes, i'd argue it
would be much easier to navigate using in an IDE using folders (each w a JSON
file) rather than opening up a MASSIVE JSON file and making changes in that.

Thoughts?

Thanks

Hi David,

I think you may want something like

http://the.server/content/my/node.infinity.json

Note that in the last year or two "infinity" has been limited so that a
deep node structure wouldn't melt the server. If your tree exceeds the
default limit there is a way to adjust it.
