Convert PEM certificate to JSON format

Convert a PEM based file to JSON

This snippet will convert a PEM based certificate of key to JSON format. This is useful when having to embed a certificate in a JSON object.

It will simply add \n in the required places.

The snipped was copied from here: https://docs.vmware.com/en/Unified-Access-Gateway/2.9/com.vmware.access-point-29-deploy-config/GUID-870AF51F-AB37-4D6C-B9F5-4BFEB18F11E9.html

pem_to_json.sh

awk 'NF {sub(/\r/, ""); printf "%s\\n",$0;}' cert-name.pem

If you need a more modern version of this you can use jq to do all sorts of magic with JSON. In any case you could run jq -sR . $any_file to convert the entire file to JSON.

Sorry, just happened to stumble on this and thought jq might help someone.

Yep... jq definitely comes in handy for this. Thanks @benaryorg!
