Basic Usage
ssbh_lib_json and ssbh_data_json convert supported SSBH formats to and from text files in the JSON format. Drag the SSBH file onto the executable to convert to JSON. Drag the JSON file onto the executable to convert back to SSBH. All file types supported by ssbh_lib are supported by ssbh_lib_json. ssbh_data_json supports all types supported by ssbh_data.
Failed Conversions
Using drag and drop won't keep the terminal window open to see the error message. If the file fails to convert, run the program from a terminal or command prompt to see error information. For example, run ssbh_lib_json.exe mesh.json mesh.numshb from cmd.exe on Windows to see any potential conversion errors.
