Correct citation?

[jeroenjanssens]

I'm currently writing the second edition of Data Science at the Command Line. This book stands on the shoulders of many command-line tools (including xml2json) and I would like to cite them all as best as possible.

I couldn't find any existing citation information, so I came up with the following:

@software{xml2json,
    title = {{xml2json} -- Convert an {XML} input to a {JSON} output, using {xml-mapping}},
    url = {https://github.com/parmentf/xml2json},
    author = {François Parmentier},
    version = {0.0.3},
    year = {2016}
}

Is this correct?

Yes, it seems correct.

But be aware that this command is a mere wrapping of xml-mapping, which main author is Nicolas Thouvenin.
The code I've written for this command is only 19-lines long, whereas xml-mapping is hundreds of lines, tests, examples.

Maybe you can add Nicolas as a co-author.
