QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert OGMO to JSON?
No - not a direct conversion.

An .ogmo project file created by Ogmo Editor is literally a JSON file with a different extension, so it already contains valid JSON. To get a .json file you simply open it in a text editor and save a copy as .json, or rename it. No conversion tool is involved.

Why convert OGMO to JSON?

Developers ask this because they want to parse an Ogmo project outside the editor. Ogmo Editor stores project data - name, layers, entities, tilesets and settings - as JSON-formatted text, so the .ogmo file is effectively a renamed .json. Opening it reveals the raw JSON immediately.

How to convert OGMO to JSON

Open in Visual Studio Code

Open the .ogmo file in Visual Studio Code, then use File > Save As and change the extension to .json. VS Code will validate and format the JSON.

Rename the file

Make a copy and change its extension from .ogmo to .json. The contents are unchanged because the data was already JSON.

Any text editor

Open the file in any text editor such as Notepad++, confirm it is JSON, and save it with a .json name to use it elsewhere.

Quality & what to watch

  • The data is identical before and after; only the file extension changes, so nothing is lost.
  • Ogmo Editor 3 also saves individual level files as .json already, so those need no conversion at all.
  • If the JSON looks malformed, the file may be from an older Ogmo version - validate it in an editor before relying on it.

Frequently asked questions

Is an `.ogmo` file really just JSON?
Yes. Ogmo Editor stores project data as JSON-formatted text and simply uses the .ogmo extension.
Do I need a converter?
No. You can rename the file to .json or save a copy with that extension from any text editor.
Will renaming break the Ogmo project?
Rename a copy, not the original, so Ogmo Editor can still find its expected .ogmo file.
How can I check the JSON is valid?
Open it in VS Code, which highlights syntax errors and can auto-format the JSON.
