JsonResume

JsonResume creates pretty versions of resume from a single JSON input file. Output formats are specifically customized to modern resume templates. Also, there are a ton of customizations to the templates possible, to make your own version of resume created easily and super quickly.

Installation

$ gem install json_resume

Usage

Create a sample JSON input file to start

$ json_resume sample

A sample prateek_cv.json is generated in the current working directory(cwd).

Modify it as per the needs, and remove or keep rest of the fields empty.

Conversion

• Syntax

    json_resume convert [--template=/path/to/custom/template] [--out=html|html_pdf|tex|tex_pdf|md] <json_input>

    <json_input> can be /path/to/json OR "{'json':'string'}" OR http://raw.json

• Default (HTML) version

    $ json_resume convert prateek_cv.json

A directory resume/ will be generated in cwd, which can be put hosted on /var/www or on github pages. (Sample)

• HTML* version

html version without glyphicons can be generated by giving glyphicons as false : (Sample)

     "settings": {
         "glyphicons" : false
    },

• PDF version from HTML (Sample)

    $ json_resume convert --out=html_pdf prateek_cv.json

• LaTeX version (Sample)

    $ json_resume convert --out=tex prateek_cv.json

• PDF version from LaTeX (Sample)

    $ json_resume convert --out=tex_pdf prateek_cv.json

• Markdown version (Sample)

Markup Language

JSON is parsed as per the markdown standards. This implies all this works-

• ** bold **,
• _ italics _,
• script<sup>^sup<sup/>,
• script<sub>_sub<sub/>,
• [href](#),
• <<http://github.com>>

FAQs

• I get the following error during convert :

Error:
Generating the html type...
/Users/myMac/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.0.0-p353/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/json-1.8.1/lib/json/common.rb:155:in `encode': "\xE2" on US-ASCII (Encoding::InvalidByteSequenceError)

Looks like locale problem. Add the following to the environment : export LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 ( Thanks to @viswamitra )

Customization

Output is creating using mustache templates. They are located in templates/. These can be modified and given as --template=/path/to/template to convert. For example, the tex template was customized to produced this new format.
