Convert XML JATS to JSON CSLJSON

The Journal Article Tag Suite (JATS) XML file extension is pivotal in digital publishing. XML stands for Extensible Markup Language. JATS, an NISO standard, was designed to tag and structure the content of scholarly articles. Initially derived from NLM (National Library of Medicine) DTDs in the early 2000s, JATS ensures consistent formatting and metadata tagging for articles, facilitating efficient indexing, searchability, and interoperability across various databases and platforms. Its use in the academic and scientific community supports robust archiving and seamless dissemination of knowledge.

The JSON file extension, associated with CSL JSON (Citation Style Language JSON), is used to store and exchange bibliographic data. Commonly utilized in academic publishing and reference management tools, it allows for standardized citation and bibliography formatting. Originating from the need for a universal citation format in the early 2000s, CSL JSON has been widely adopted for its efficiency in organizing and sharing scholarly references. The format leverages the JSON structure for simplicity and compatibility across different systems.
