{
"unordered lists are created from objects": {

{
"nested": true,
"more nesting": [
true,

"even": "more"
}

]
},
"another element"
]

const json2markup = require('json2markup');
const fs = require('fs')
let myJSON = fs.readFileSync('example.json', 'utf8')
json2markup(myJSON, {return: 'markdown'})Returns:
- unordered lists are created from objects:

json2markup(myJSON)Returns:
<ul><li>unordered lists are created from objects: <ul><li>foo: true</li><li>bar: false</li></ul></li><li>ordered lists are created from arrays: <ol><li>this is an example</li><li><ul><li>nested: true</li><li>more nesting: <ol><li>true</li><li><ol><li>even</li><li><ul><li>more: and</li><li>even: more</li></ul></li></ol></li></ol></li></ul></li><li>another element</li></ol></li></ul>You can also pass JavaScript objects and arrays, and sanitize HTML
