Hard to say without seeing the format of the log. Typically a call to JSON.stringify(some_object) is made but you'd likely need to convert the file to simple objects first — fnostro

You can simply read from the .txt file then write the contents to a .json file using JSON.stringify to make sure characters such as newlines and double quotes are escaped properly.

For example using Node.js:

const fs = require('fs');
const contents = fs.readFileSync('log.txt', 'utf8');
fs.writeFileSync('log.json', `{ "data": ${JSON.stringify(contents)} }\n`);
