If you have a configuration that you have worked on for a long time,
FootSmart can convert your backup file to an easier to read YAML file.
This format is called Simple Format.
Simple Format is close to the original backup format, but in a much simplified view.
You can convert a backup file to Simple Format using the -b argument to
footsmart (or footsmart.py if you are using Python).
For example, if your backup file is named backup.json you could convert
it to a human-readable yaml file with:
footsmart -b backup.json simple.yamlNot all backup file features are supported, raise an issue in the github repo for FootSmart if you get an error, and I will work on it.
There is no tool to convert a Simple Format file to a FootSmart (Intuitive Format) file, nor are there any plans for one. This process would require heuristics to understand the intent behind the original configuration, and that is too much work for a process that ideally would be executed a single time.
