2. Run the Converter:

   To convert your BibTeX file to JSON, you can run the script from the command line. Use the following command:

   python bib2json.py input.bib output.json

   • input.bib should be replaced with the name of your input BibTeX file.
   • output.json should be replaced with the desired name for your output JSON file.

   Additionally, you can use the --include_bibtex flag to include the BibTeX field in the JSON output:

   python bib2json.py input.bib output.json --include_bibtex

   This flag is optional, and if provided, it will include the BibTeX field in the resulting JSON.

3. Eat the JSON Data:

   Your BibTeX data will now be available in JSON format, ready to be used in your research, applications, projects, or whatever...
