Whats the best way to export Json?

Seems this thing is broken; https://github.com/cauli/TwineJson

I'm looking to parse Twine in Unity, Json seems like the most painless way.

If all you want is a way to access the content of all the Passages within a Story and you are using one of the downloadable/installable releases of Twine 2 then the simplest method to do this is:

a. Use the Twine > Show Library menu items to open the folder/directory where the application stores your Story Project files.

b. Make a copy of your Story's Project HTML file.

c. Use a HTML Parser built in the programming language of your choice to parse the copy. The file's basic structure is as follows, I have added indentation and extra line-breaks to make it more readable:

<tw-storydata name="story name" startnode="1" format="Harlowe" ....>

	<style role="stylesheet" id="twine-user-stylesheet" type="text/twine-css"> .... </style>
	<script role="script" id="twine-user-script" type="text/twine-javascript"> .... </script>

	<tw-passagedata pid="1" name="name of first passage" tags="" position="1,1"> .... </tw-passagedata>
	<tw-passagedata pid="2" name="name of second passage" tags="" position="1,11"> .... </tw-passagedata>

	....

</tw-storydata>

the .... in the above either represents element attributes that have been remove or content.

This might be the way, if there is no working Json parser out there. In the end I feel that I will have to write my own custom parser anyway, but would have been nice to start this project from "already having a Json file" stage.

I made a Unity plugin that imports Twine stories as C# scripts, among other things it parses the story structure into a class hierarchy. It might be useful in your situation.
