Struggling to rearrange complex JSON data (data1) into a more organized format (data2). Progress has been slow.
data1 is created by scanning a parent directory (recipes) for html files.
data2 is the desired output structure using data1, where content within a folder should be represented as an array of objects rather than nested objects.
var data1 = {
"cake": {
"chocolate": {
"black-forest": {
"name": "Black Forest",
"path": "recipes/cake/chocolate/black-forest.html"
},
"new-shortcake": {
"milk-chocolate-shortcake": {
"name": "Milk chocolate shortcake",
"path": "recipes/cake/chocolate/shortcake/milk-chocolate-shortcake.html"
},
"dark-chocolate-shortcake": {
"name": "Dark chocolate shortcake",
"path": "recipes/cake/chocolate/shortcake/dark-chocolate-shortcake.html"
}
}
}
},
"pasta": {
"spaghetti": {
"aglio-olio": {
"name": "Spagehetti Aglio Olio",
"path": "recipes/pasta/spaghetti/aglio-olio.html"
},
"carbonara": {
"name": "Carbonara",
"path": "recipes/pasta/spaghetti/carbonara.html"
}
},
"lasagna": {
"name": "Lasagna",
"path": "recipes/pasta/lasagna.html"
}
}
}
var data2 = [
{
"name": "cake",
"children": [
{
"name": "chocolate",
"children": [
{
"name": "Black Forest",
"path": "recipes/cake/chocolate/black-forest.html"
},
{
"name": "New Shortcake",
"children": [
{
"name": "Milk chocolate shortcake",
"path": "recipes/cake/chocolate/shortcake/milk-chocolate-shortcake. html"
},
{
"name": "Dark chocolate shortcake",
"path": "recipes/cake/chocolate/shortcake/dark-chocolate-shortcake. html"
}
]
}
]
}
]
},
{
"name": "pasta",
"children": [
{
"name": "spaghetti",
"children": [
{
"name": "Spagehetti Aglio Olio",
"path": "recipes/pasta/spaghetti/aglio-olio.html"
},
{
"name": "Carbonara",
"path": "recipes/pasta/spaghetti/carbonara.html"
}
]
},
{
"name": "Lasagna",
"path": "recipes/pasta/lasagna.html"
}
]
}
]

Any assistance would be highly appreciated!
PS: Ultimate goal is to construct a menu utilizing the new data structure.
