JSON to nlohmann::json initializer_list

[janwiesemann]

A few weeks ago I've started writing a collection of development tools. One of my first tools is a simple JSON to nlohmann::json initializer_list converter.

Try it out: https://dev.janwiesemann.de/index.php?id=cpp/json_to_nlohmann_json

Just past some JSON and you'll get result.

Example using OTTO Market Product API-JSON
