javascript - Converting json to pdf using js frameworks

Question

I want to convert json data into a pdf file via client-side Javascript. Can you please point me in a helpful direction?

For example, I'd like to convert this json

{"employees":[
    {"firstName":"John", "lastName":"Doe"}, 
    {"firstName":"Anna", "lastName":"Smith"},
    {"firstName":"Peter", "lastName":"Jones"}
]}

Into a pdf...

Employees

FirstName: John  LastName  :Doe

FirstName: Anna LastName  :Smith

FirstName: Peter LastName  :Jones

You can generate PDF's on the client using jsPDF .

var employees = [
    {"firstName":"John", "lastName":"Doe"}, 
    {"firstName":"Anna", "lastName":"Smith"},
    {"firstName":"Peter", "lastName":"Jones"}
];

var doc = new jsPDF();
employees.forEach(function(employee, i){
    doc.text(20, 10 + (i * 10), 
        "First Name: " + employee.firstName +
        "Last Name: " + employee.lastName);
});
doc.save('Test.pdf');
