📚Transforms JSON-files to PO-Files ↔️ PO-Files to JSON-files

📚Transforms JSON-files to PO-Files ↔️ PO-Files to JSON-files

Motivation

In some projects, I use react-intl to internationalize them and support multi-languages. React-intl supports flatted objects as JSON-files divided into separated named-files like en_US.json or de_DE.json.

Most of my clients use POEdit to manage multi-languages in their projects. And most translations agency known and used this tool too.

For these reasons I need something to transform flatted objects as JSON-files to PO-Files to open with POEdit - so this tool/repository was born.
