NAMEdesktoptojson − Converts a ​.desktop file to a ​.json file​.

---

SYNOPSISdesktoptojson −−input DESKTOP−FILE −−output JSON−FILE desktoptojson {−−version | −−help}

---

DESCRIPTIONThe KService framework uses information contained in ​.desktop files to locate services, including plugins for Qt5−based applications and libraries​. The Qt5 plugin system, however, uses JSON data embedded in the plugin itself​. desktoptojson allows the information contained in a ​.desktop file to also be used as the embedded data for a Qt5 plugin by converting the ​.desktop file entries into JSON data​. The generated JSON data is a JSON object that maps the entries from the [Desktop Entry] group of the ​.desktop file​. Any other groups are ignored​. Most entries are just converted to JSON strings, but certain entries (such as Hidden and X−KDE−PluginInfo−EnabledByDefault) are known to be boolean values and converted as such, and similarly some (such as X−KDE−ServiceTypes and X−KDE−PluginInfo−Depends) are always converted to arrays of strings​.

---

OPTIONS−−input DESKTOP−FILE The ​.desktop file to convert​. −−output JSON−FILE The file to write the generated JSON data to​. −−help Show a brief help text​. −−version Show version information​.

---

USAGEMost users of this utility will use the CMake macro kservice_desktop_to_json as part of the process of building a plugin​. add_library(myplugin MODULE ${myplugin_SRCS}) kservice_desktop_to_json(myplugin myplugin​.desktop) This will produce the JSON file myplugin​.json, which can be referenced from the K_PLUGIN_FACTORY_WITH_JSON or Q_PLUGIN_METADATA macros​.
