🧐 About
Reference JS is a collection of parsing functions for Node that allow you to import, export and convert between BibTeX, EndNote, XML, JSON files and more.
Reference Managers are software tools used to organise research work. We aim to tackle the vast Reference Manager format types that exist i.e. bibtex, f1000, XML.
By parsing all formats into JSON, we alleviate the need to for JSON based storage and point-to-point conversion i.e. Bibtex to JSON to XML.
The project was forked from devisle and has been extended to support other file formats.

🎈 Usage
Formats from Reference managers can be converted into JSON and back. Using this approach, you are able to leverage the library to convert between other formats e.g. Bibtex to JSON to RIS behind the scenes.
🚀 Deployment
We recommend storing your references in JSON format as it is highly compatible with NoSQL databases and Web Applications.
