Tool for use in converting of .txt file based scheduling object definitions to .json as payload in the REST requests.

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Currently using TWS version and are leveraging TWS REST API to create a robust CI, CD workflow to deploy objects like JOBS, SCHEDULES, RESOURCES to TWS servers.  At this point all the TWS objects definitions available in a .txt file using syntax mentioned here (https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/workload-automation/9.4.0?topic=objects-job-definition).

We are unable to use the .txt file based object definition as payload in the REST requests, we are manually converting the .txt based definition to .json to use in REST API based CD workflow. 

Please help us with the below:

1)  Options/tools from IBM to convert .txt based object definitions to .json.

2) Possibility to directly use the .txt based TWS object definition as payload in the REST request
