Is there any documentation around the json used to create .boxnotes?

 

Using the content api I am able to download a .boxnote file or should I say the json equivilant of the file. The problem I'm encountering is trying to convert this file, say a word document.

 

Any help would be much appreciated. I have raised a ticket, but thought I would ask here also incase any one has any suggestions.

  Just to clarify, are you trying to download a Box Note using the Box API? Or are you trying to get a JSON representation of the Box Note with all of its content?

  The BoxNotes JSON is an internal format, would not recommend that you build your application against it. 

   

   

   

   

  Can you tell us a bit more about your application? Why are you trying to open the BoxNote in Word? Depending on the usecase, there may be another approach we can recommend.

  I am also interested in this.. is this possible? Seems strange you can download a JSON representation but can't format it as is?

   

  Thanks!

  I had this issue and spent some time reverse engineering Box Notes and came up with a pretty good conversion. Check it out: https://github.com/alexwennerberg/boxnotes2html
