I don't use both of them, but I found a URL example from here. It's a totally different format than the one used in this script, so it won't work. I do not intend to add support for that, you can try it yourself.

@zjx20
ooh, thanks. I didn't know there are different types of vmess URL !

@zjx20
I would also love to know how to convert a JSON file to a URL, but the English of "base64 decode output file" is just way too much for me, I'm not an IT guy.

@mulezic Sorry, I can't help you if you are not familiar with this IT stuff (e.g. shell scripts, base64 encoding, etc.). Maybe you can say more about what you're trying to do, and maybe it can be solved in a different way.

I created my own V2ray proxy servers using some scripts I found on YouTube. I have been doing this for some using scripts that generate my V2ray server account in a QR Code format where I just have to scan the code into my V2ray client or the Vmess/Vless URL format where I just copy and import into a V2ray client. Now, the challenge I have is that the recent script I found only gives the option to save your created server account in JSON format. With JSON format, I'm limited to VPN clients I can import my servers in since most of them do not support JSON format. So, I thought there was a way I could convert a JSON file to a common Vmess, Vless URL format. I don't know if I'm making sense.

@mulezic OK, I understand. You can tell me what server software or script you are using, what client you are planning to use, and also a sample json config (without sensitive information). I can help you determine the feasibility of the situation.
