To make json2settings :

(Note: You need C++11 as a minimum; probably; I think!)

cd downloadfolder
make

Observe "downloadfolder/bin/json2settings" has been created.

To make json2settings available from command line etc. :

add lines to ~/.bashrc (or wherever):

#to find json2settings - for making settings files (ESP8266) from json specs
PATH="$PATH:$HOME/downloadfolder/bin"

To test basic functioning of json2settings :

From a terminal :

json2settings

json2settings is waiting for input. Paste this json (including the empty line) into the terminal:

{
  "version" : "1.0", //<READONLY> Field will be disabled in html form
  "secretNumberSetting" : 12345, //<PRIVATE> Field will not appear in html form
  "myFirstSetting" : "It worked",
  "myFavouriteAuthor" : "Jane Eyre",
  "myBooleanSetting" : true //will appear as a checkbox on html form
}

Hit ctrl+D to finish. Observe output header text.
