using CSL JSON file with addbibresource #11

Closed jpjoines closed 2 years ago

Is it possible to use a CSL JSON file directly with \addbibresource{}? Is it even a good idea? I think it could eliminate one potentially lossy references conversion in my workflow.

I'm working with Zotero/Better BibTeX to translate my Zotero references to Bib(La)Tex format. Then using citeproc-lua via the citation-style-language LaTeX package to enable use of CSL styles in my LaTeX documents. If I understand it correctly, citeproc-lua converts from BibTeX to CSL JSON internally.

Zotero/Better BibTeX can export directly from Zotero to CSL JSON (and other formats like YAML, etc., https://github.com/retorquere/zotero-better-bibtex/tree/master/translators). If citeproc-lua/citation-style-language.sty could use the JSON file directly, it could cut out one format conversion.

Yes, it totally makes sense. And I'm planning to make CSL-JSON the preferred format.
