25.18.1. Usage

Syntax

cgfx2json [options]

Converts a CgFX file into a JSON file.

Shader parameter semantics are ignored, parameters will be matched at runtime by the variable name.

It is recommended that the CgFX file compiles program code either to GLSL profiles or to latest, the later is required if assembly programs are requested.

For more information about the CgFX file format please read the NVidia tutorial.

For more information about JSON please visit json.org.
