Hi Ken,
thank you. I wrote a little JavaScript program for the transformation. You need NodeJs to run it.
Here is the source code (it includes Jon's JSON data):

Re: IBM Documentation Hidden At IBM
Would you mind posting the code for your JSON effort here? Maybe some of us can take a look at it and figure a way to make it work different?
