that sounds like an interesting approach. xml seems like what you really
want, since looking at the parsetree there is a lot of information (e.g.
attributes, properties, etc...) that would be tricky to generate a fully
representative json scheme.
This page suggests at the bottom you could export to texinfo, and convert
that to docbook:
http://orgmode.org/worg/exporters/ox-overview.html
- (1) DocBook export, available in previous Org-mode versions, has not
currently been ported to the new exporter, however the new
ox-texinfobackend can generate DocBook format. Once
file.texi is created via ox-texinfo, simply execute:
makeinfo --docbook file.texi
